Lakefront Italianate masterpiece with stunning Lake Travis views from almost every room in the house. 1.5 manicured acres within the prestigious Vineyard Bay neighborhood. Old world craftsmanship and an absolute commitment to the architectural vernacular. Beginning with the imposing handmade arched double entry doors, rich and lavish woodwork is woven throughout in the form of custom beams, luxurious crown molding, coved, domed and coffered ceilings... a rich, robust vocabulary that flows from room to room, the warmth of wood subtly juxtaposed against the ‘cool’ elements of the hand plastered walls, travertine floors and marble columns. Similarly the forms expressed throughout the home, each room its own elegant expression brought together into a thoughtful symphony of form and material. Coved, barrel vault and domed ceilings, multi-level tray ceilings framed with intricate crown moldings, coffered and beamed, each its own unique, intimate experience yet seamlessly part of the whole.

In Austin, this Austin, TX 78734 single family residence combines a private setting, wide water views, and the kind of floor plan that is hard to find at any price point.

Built in 2002, the home offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 1 half bath, a 3-car garage, 3 fireplaces, and a layout that works well for long-term guests, multigenerational living, or owners who want separate entertaining zones. The scale matters here. Two levels, elevator access, multiple living and dining areas, and two kitchens create real flexibility rather than wasted square footage.

For schools, the property is in Lake Travis ISD, with Lake Travis for elementary, Hudson Bend for middle school, and Lake Travis for high school. That district remains a major driver of demand in the 78734 market, especially for buyers who want a waterfront property without giving up access to established public schools. Days on market at 1 also tells you this address entered the market fresh, which matters in a segment where standout lakefront inventory is limited.

For a buyer focused on long-term value in Austin luxury real estate, this is the kind of Lake Travis address that stays relevant because the land, the water, and the school district continue to matter.
