Situated on a private, gated waterfront street of just 30 homes on Lake Travis, this Spanish-style estate delivers unobstructed lake and hill country views from nearly every room. No marina or business in your sightline either. Inside, the flow is open and practical. Two-story cathedral ceilings with exposed wood beams anchor the living room, where a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and large patio door open to the covered deck. High-end tile flooring runs through all common areas. The kitchen has oversized counters, a floating island, walk-in pantry, high-end cabinetry, dual-door refrigerator, gas range, double sinks, and a pass-through window to the covered outdoor kitchen with gas grill & fridge. All with lake views. Two primary suites on the main level. The master includes a spa, gas fireplace, and large walk-in closet, and of course water views to wake up to. The guest suite, situated for multigenerational living, has its own private entrance, refrigerator, microwave, and sink. Three additional bedrooms upstairs, & two additional balconies. Extra-large game room with panoramic windows. Walk-in showers with glass doors throughout. Oversized laundry room with space for a second fridge on primary level. Outside, two levels of stone patio surround a newly tiled pool and spa for swimming while you watch the boaters. Covered outdoor kitchen with grill, fridge, granite dry bar, and bar seating. Second patio with gas fireplace. Lower terrace with gas fire pit. 3-car garage, driveway fits 4-5 additional vehicles. Whole house HVAC systems updated in 2020. New Water heater in 2023. $50k+ invested in landscaping, fixtures, plumbing, electrical, and exterior paint throughout to ensure the new buyer has a smooth start to ownership. What the seller will miss most: the privately gated Waterford Marina only 4 minutes away, offering worry free, maintenance free boating.
