"THIS WAS JUST A SLIVER OF
LAND THAT NOBODY KNEW
WHAT TO DO WITH,"
SAYS MANTERIS, WHO BOUGHT THE 15-YEAR-OLD HOUSE AND PROPERTY
WITH ABBOTT FIVE YEARS AGO.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
KITCHEN: Since Abbott and Manteris might only cook once a week, they didn't do much to the gleaming white kitchen, save for replacing the counters with honed black granite and adding a Wolf stovetop and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Chrome and white-leather
barstools from High Fashion Home. Most dishes from Pottery Barn. THE HOMEOWNERS: Renea Abbott and husband, Greg Manteris. VERANDA: Situated just off the kitchen, dining- and living-room areas, the veranda overlooks Lake Austin's limestone cliffs.
Outdoor furnishings from Restoration Hardware.
