Not every home earns the word turnkey. This one truly means it! Fully furnished and genuinely ready for its next chapter, this Horseshoe Bay retreat in the beloved Deerhaven neighborhood invites you to skip the setup and get straight to life at the lake! All the texture of waterfront living and without the waterfront price tag or the tax burden that comes with it. Thoughtfully designed from the ground up and with picture perfect lake views, the home offers a no-step entry, a private elevator and your very own pool. Both levels are equally as welcoming for guests and family alike. The captivating chef's kitchen is a showstopper whether you're plating a four-course dinner or uncorking a bottle of wine. Anchored by a huge island as well as a gas stove, there is also a sizeable butler’s pantry with its own refrigerator and sink and a large walk-in pantry with enough room to stock up for the whole season. Soaring, beamed ceilings amplify the main living areas, adding an airy, open quality. Closets and storage are plentiful throughout, wisely using every inch of space. And no carpet in the entire home! Two massive, covered porches frame the kind of lake views that make you stop mid-conversation; equally suited for a quiet morning with coffee or a fun evening with friends. A dedicated office overlooks the sparkling backyard pool, and the attached two-car garage with a separate golf cart garage adds to the many conveniences of this home. A firepit is ready to go for nights with s’mores underneath the hill country stars. Just a short walk away, the wonderful lakefront neighborhood park delivers pickleball courts, a community pool, and a boat ramp with direct access to constant level Lake LBJ. And with a low tax rate and low HOA dues, this home isn't just a lifestyle decision; it's a smart one. Lake LBJ is calling, and this is how you answer!

This 2,697 square foot home, completed in 2021, sits on a 0.37-acre corner lot with the kind of direct lake access that typically commands waterfront premiums.
