Wake up to Lake Travis views, spend the day on the water, and end the evening entertaining from multiple decks overlooking the shoreline. With 89 feet of improved waterfront and 1.64 acres, this custom lakefront home delivers the lifestyle buyers come to Lake Travis to find.
The neighboring 1.41-acre waterfront lot is also available, creating the opportunity to expand to a combined 176 feet of shoreline. Whether envisioned as a future pool site, guest house, cabana, or simply additional privacy, the extra land offers flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find.
A floating dock, Trex-decked boathouse, expansive terrace, and multiple outdoor living areas make it easy to enjoy every season on the lake. Inside, custom finishes, soaring ceilings, shiplap details, and designer lighting create a distinctive lake home atmosphere.
The open-concept layout centers around a chef-inspired kitchen with quartz surfaces, custom cabinetry, farmhouse sink, JennAir gas range, and walk-in pantry. Two primary suites provide comfortable accommodations, while the media room, built-in beverage station, and rare parking make hosting family and friends effortless.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
Downtown Austin runs from the Colorado River north to the Capitol, bounded by I-35 to the east and Lamar to the west. It is the densest residential market in Central Texas with high-rise condos, historic lofts, and luxury towers concentrated in distinct sub-districts. The Seaholm District anchors the west end with the Seaholm Residences and the new Google tower reshaping the skyline. Rainey Street sits along the lake's north shore - what was a street of bungalow bars is now flanked by 40-story residential towers including 70 Rainey and The Lakeshore. The Warehouse District between 3rd and 6th Streets draws buyers who want walkable nightlife and restaurant access. Congress Avenue bisects downtown and remains the civic spine connecting the Capitol to the lake. The Austonian (56 floors), The Independent (58 floors), and 360 Condominiums are the marquee towers. Newer projects like Sixth & Guadalupe and The Republic continue adding inventory. Price points range from $400K studio condos to $5M+ penthouses with lake and Hill Country views. Walk Score averages 95+. The MetroRail Red Line stops at downtown station. Major employers including the State of Texas, UT Austin, and a growing tech presence (Google, Meta, Apple satellite offices) generate consistent housing demand. Nightlife, dining, live music, and Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail are all within walking distance. Buyers here are typically professionals, empty nesters downsizing from suburban estates, investors, and out-of-state relocations drawn to Austin's urban core. HOA fees range from $400/month in older buildings to $2,000+ in full-service towers. Most buildings include concierge, pool, fitness center, and secure parking.
