911 Electra, Lakeway, TX 78734

If you’re looking for ordinary, this isn’t it. Set on a private, tree covered lot in Old Lakeway, this home offers a rare combination of views, natural light, and character, paired with thoughtful, design driven updates throughout. Walls of windows frame sweeping Hill Country views, and now with the lake up, Lake Travis is your backdrop. The setting feels tucked away surrounded by trees, yet close to all Lakeway offers. The main level lives like a one-story with the primary suite, kitchen, and living areas oriented toward the views. The kitchen has been completely reimagined with a Cafe appliance suite, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a waterfall island, and designer lighting. The primary suite includes a fireplace, private deck and updated bath with freestanding soaking tub, frameless glass shower, and floating double vanity. A separate flex space off the primary, staged as a nursery could also be a study, gym or yoga room. Downstairs, another bonus room offers flexibility as a second living, game room or third bedroom. Add a door and it could be fully separated, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The details of the home feel considered without being overdone. Fluted acoustic feature walls, updated lighting, a custom steel front door, and cohesive finishes give the home a distinct point of view. Outdoor living is where this home sets itself apart. Multiple levels of updated decking create space to unwind and take in the views. The screened porch perched amongst trees captures incredible sunsets and long views across the hills. Native landscaping is both striking and drought tolerant for a low maintenance setting that blends naturally. Major system updates, including a high efficiency Lennox HVAC system and extensive exterior improvements, add comfort and peace of mind. This is a home that feels different. Private, flexible, and thoughtfully updated, it offers a setting and experience that are hard to find and even harder to leave.

From 911 Electra in Lakeway, Lake Travis unfolds as your constant companion. Walls of windows frame sweeping Hill Country views that shift with the light, and this three-bedroom home is entirely oriented to capture them. The architecture doesn't fight the landscape. It surrenders to it.

The windows aren't an afterthought here. They're structural anchors. Expansive glass runs along the primary living spaces on the main level, pulling the Hill Country into every room. During daylight, the views saturate the kitchen, dining areas, and primary suite with natural light. At sunset, the screened porch positioned among mature trees catches the long views across the hills and becomes the home's true center. The glass is paired with fluted acoustic feature walls and custom track lighting that frames rather than competes with what's outside.

The deck system is where this home separates itself from typical Lakeway inventory. Multiple levels of updated decking create graduated outdoor living spaces that don't feel rushed or cramped. They exist to extend your day, to linger with coffee, to sit with a view unobstructed. This is living above the lot, not on it. The sloped terrain slopes down from the home, which amplifies the sensation of elevation. Native plantings drift naturally across the landscape, drought tolerant and visually uncluttered.

Inside, the 2,668 square feet reflect design decisions made for view cultivation. The primary suite occupies the main level with a private deck access, fireplace, and updated bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub positioned to catch morning light. The kitchen renovation paired a Cafe appliance suite with quartz countertops, a waterfall island, and recessed lighting that doesn't interfere with the sightlines. A flex space adjacent to the primary serves as a secondary study, gym, or nursery. Downstairs, a bonus room offers third-bedroom flexibility or expanded entertaining space.

At 911 Electra in the Lakeway subdivision of Lake Travis, you're served by Lake Travis ISD, with Serene Hills Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle, and Lake Travis High School anchoring the district. The Lakeway area positions you 25 minutes from downtown Austin and minutes from Lakeway Parks and Recreation, which borders the property's accessibility to Hill Country trails and water access.

This home works because it doesn't ignore what surrounds it. It frames it, honors it, and makes living among the views the entire proposition.

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.
