160 Drifting Sands Dr

Make this home your summer destination - hosting pool parties, cooking for friends, and relaxing on the wrap-around porch! 160 Drifting Sands Drive is located on a 3.23-acre, corner lot in The Preserve, a prestigious and gated community in the heart of Dripping Springs. With sprawling oaks, manicured and natural areas, and a wet-weather creek, there is ample space to explore. The home opens with tall ceilings, white oak finishes, and views of the private yard. Two offices look out onto the front porch – and would make a nice library or reading room. The living area has vaulted ceilings, a white oak fireplace surround, built-in shelving, and the perfect framing of the backyard's expanse. The custom, remodeled kitchen is the heart of this home with floor to ceiling cabinetry; a white oak, built-in China cabinet; cabinet-faced Thermador refrigerators and freezer; and the ultimate chef's tool - a 60" dual fuel, Thermador range with six burners and a griddle. The quartz island is a great place for prep and mingling, with seating for four with the dining area nearby. Through a set of cabinet doors, is the prep kitchen with pot filler, beverage refrigerator and microwave; it's a great place to store large appliances; oversized pantry; and large walk-in laundry room. The primary bedroom is a sanctuary, overlooking the backyard. The updated bathroom offers a spa-like feel with a free-standing tub, dual vanities, a dreamy zellige tile shower, and a custom closet. Upstairs makes a great space for children or guests, with four additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a game room. The backyard is where you'll host your Fourth of July party with swimming, yard games, grilling under the pavilion, and smores in the evening around the firepit. There is a large storage shed for yard tools and toys and a garden with raised beds, ready for planting. This home is zoned to highly-rated schools, close to downtown Dripping Springs and about 20 miles to downtown Austin.
