The built-in grill connects to a 500-gallon propane tank, while a pool bath with exterior access keeps wet feet outside. Recent resodding & new river rock in shaded areas provide a fresh, polished landscape. Inside, architectural detail takes center stage.

Ceiling fans have been added throughout the upstairs, while MinkaAire designer fans serve the main level. Dual heat-pump HVAC systems provide comfort to both floors. A distinctive Old Lakeway home combining golf-course views, resort-style outdoor living, custom architecture & extensive updates—ready for its next owner.

On the 7th green of Old Lakeway's golf course sits 402 Zephyr St, a 3,708 square foot Hausman-built residence where privacy and craftsmanship define the living experience. The 0.4477 acre corner lot backs directly to the fairway, providing natural seclusion behind mature live oaks exceeding 40 feet and landscaped grounds maintained by a full sprinkler system. This elevation removes the home from street visibility while positioning it as part of the community's protected landscape.

The architecture respects restraint. A 13-foot barrel-ceiling foyer with arched walkways and decorative transoms establishes the home's character without announcement. Solid-core 8-foot doors, 18-inch ceramic tile on the main level, and custom knotty alder cabinetry throughout reflect decisions made for longevity rather than trend. The living spaces flow openly across 14 feet of main-level living area, with rounded corners and transom windows creating visual continuity between rooms. Recessed lighting and multiple ceiling fans address both function and comfort across distinct zones designed for different uses.

The kitchen centers on granite counters, a large island with dual appliances including a JennAir vented cooktop, and built-in double ovens with self-cleaning capability. A separate study or home office provides dedicated workspace on the main level, while the primary bedroom with its own entrance allows complete separation from guest areas. The master bath includes a Jacuzzi tub, a 4-by-6 walk-in shower with bench seating, and double vanities across tiled counters.

The backyard functions as an entirely separate living domain. A professionally resurfaced PebbleTec pool and separate spa anchor 200 feet of covered patio space with ceiling fans and a dedicated grilling area. The built-in grill connects to a 500-gallon propane tank, while a dedicated pool bath with exterior access eliminates interior wet-foot traffic. Recent resodding and river rock additions maintain clean sightlines across the yard toward the golf course.

The second floor, accessed by a hidden staircase behind the kitchen wall, contains a game room and guest suite overlooking the fairway, plus two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets. Dual heat pump HVAC systems serve both levels independently.

Lake Travis ISD schools serve the property, with Serene Hills Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle, and Lake Travis High anchoring the district. The home sits five minutes from Lakeway village commercial areas and 15 minutes from downtown Austin via the Parmesan frontage road.

At $398 per square foot, this 2007-built residence represents established value in a restricted community where golf course backing lots rarely become available.

Lakeway is the only city in the Austin metro where you can step off an 18th green, drive three minutes to a full-service marina, and be on the water before your golf shoes are off. That combination of golf and lake access within a single small city defines the lifestyle and explains why the community has attracted a specific kind of buyer for more than 50 years - people who want resort-quality recreation woven into daily routine rather than saved for vacation.

Lakeway sits on the south shore of Lake Travis, about 20 miles west of downtown along Highway 71 and Ranch Road 620. The drive downtown takes 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic at the 620/2222 interchange. The 620 corridor runs through the commercial district with H-E-B, medical offices, and growing restaurant and retail options. Bee Cave and Hill Country Galleria sit just south on 71, adding another tier of shopping within 10 minutes. The marina community gives waterfront access ranging from personal watercraft to full-size wakeboarding boats.

Hill Country Contemporary homes make up about 30% of inventory, featuring limestone, metal roofing, and expansive glass. Mediterranean designs account for 25%, popular in gated and golf course sections. Traditional Ranch homes represent 20%, concentrated in older sections near the original resort. The rest splits between Modern Farmhouse and custom contemporary on ridgeline lots. Lot sizes range from 8,000 square feet in townhome sections to full-acre spreads in Rough Hollow. Pricing starts in the low $500s for older condos, runs through $700,000 to $1.2 million for standard single-family, and reaches $3 million for waterfront or golf-front custom properties.

Lake Travis ISD serves Lakeway and consistently draws families relocating from central Austin. Lakeway Elementary and Serene Hills Elementary feed into Hudson Bend Middle School and Lake Travis High School. Lake Travis High competes at 6A across Texas athletics with a strong football tradition alongside solid academics and fine arts. District facilities are newer than most Austin ISD campuses, and per-student spending is competitive with Eanes ISD at a lower tax rate.

The daily rhythm follows the lake and golf courses. Morning fog on Lake Travis burns off by 9 AM, and early risers are already on the water - kayaking coves, fishing bluffs, or running ski boats before afternoon wind. Lakeway Resort and Spa offers pool and fitness facilities, and Flintrock Falls Golf Club provides a Hill Country course. The Canyonlands trail system and Mount Lakeway trail offer hill hiking with lake views. Hamilton Greenbelt provides a shaded creek walk. For dining, The Grove Wine Bar anchors the upscale casual tier. SP Brazilian Steakhouse brings the full churrasco experience. Canyon Grille does American fare in a golf course setting. The Gramercy adds a polished New American option. MorninGlory handles breakfast with the consistency that turns a restaurant into a weekend ritual.

Lakeway is more developed than Jonestown and Lago Vista to the north, which offer lower prices but less infrastructure. It is less expensive than waterfront estates in Point Venture. And it provides a more recreational lifestyle than Bee Cave, which has better highway access but less lake connection. The main consideration is the 620 corridor, which can slow to a crawl during peak hours.

Lakeway works for buyers who want lake and golf access as a daily reality. It fits retirees with flexibility to enjoy the water on quiet weekday mornings. It suits families who value Lake Travis ISD and want kids growing up on the water. It works for remote workers who can schedule around the commute. If you need to be downtown every day by 8, the commute will wear on you. But if your priorities are outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a pace a few beats slower than central Austin, Lakeway makes a compelling case.
