Originally designed by J. Bryant Boyd and recently updated, this Lake Austin waterfront residence is built for the way you actually want to live: inside, outside, and on the water.

Five bedrooms and five baths, including a primary suite with its own private lake-view terrace, soaking tub, and dual vanities. The main living area and kitchen sit on the upper level to capture the best views, while the lower level opens directly to the lake with a second full kitchen, a bar, an exterior shower, and a fire pit. Two levels of terrace space and two fireplaces mean every gathering space is thoughtfully planned, designed to flow effortlessly from one to the next.

Your private dock and boat slip include a spiral staircase up to a party deck made for sunset watching. The 0.3-acre lot sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, shaded by mature trees, with direct waterfront access. And world-class dining and serenity are close at hand, with Lake Austin Spa Resort just steps away.

This is a stretch of Lake Austin most people don’t know exists. Step off your dock and you’re minutes from Ski Shores, Austin Country Club, and the best the lake has to offer. By the Fourth of July, there’s no finer seat in the city for watching fireworks light up the water than your own boat deck.

A little about the setting: This home is one of just 16 residences tucked along a private easement leading down toward Lake Austin, with this residence positioned at the very front of the waterfront. Each homeowner has their own individual dock/slip, with the docks connected along the shoreline. The result is a rare little lake community that feels friendly and connected, while still offering a peaceful, private atmosphere and plenty of space to enjoy your own slice of the lake.

The original, authentic Austin lake life, refined.
