This BEAUTIFUL 3 bedroom 2 bath home is situated on Lake Travis in Lakeway, Texas just over 20 minutes, and a beautiful drive,from downtown Austin. Located on a peninsula, this property is completely surrounded by water in three directions and has a very impressive view of the canyon that is home to the Lakeway Marina. Being at the top of the hill of the peninsula which is above the flood plane and above the spillway elevation at Mansfield Dam, means that flood insurance is just not needed for this property!
The curb appeal is amazing with extensive evergreen landscaping, one of the largest Arizona Ash Trees on record that covers most of the front of the property . . .almost all vegetation is evergreen and features a huge collection of plants, shrubs, trees and tropicals. Entertaining is made easy with a great circular drive that, when combined with the rear drive and back parking, can accommodate up to 26 cars. Entering the home through the outdoor atrium is a joy . . . and once inside the attention goes to the six HUGE natural stone pillars and magnificent 18 foot stone fireplace. High vaulted and beamedceilingscombined with aLOT of glass will impress all visitors. The North and East sides of the home are almost all glass.
Beautiful natural Travertine floors coordinate wonderfully with the natural stone and the Travertine is found throughout the home in the kitchen floors and backsplash, dining room and the master bath floors and shower backsplash that also surrounds a very large Jacuzzi tub.
The living area or “great room” is a combination of a very spacious living area, eighteen foot high vaulted beamed ceilings, wet bar and reading area with natural light and the large dining area which can accommodate eight to ten people for dinner . . . and has a view of the natural stone fireplace. The living area IS the main attraction to the home . . . great for entertaining and is only rivaled by the magnificent rear deck.
Coming in at almost 700 square feet of elevated coated CONCRETE deck . . . this outdoor entertaining area has plenty of room and a beautiful view of the canyon and the many multi-million dollar homes on the other side of the canyon. It is an elevated deck and the partially enclosed carport is located underneath the deck. Most visitors will appreciate the rear deck as much as the beauty of the living area.
The kitchen has glass on the North and South sides, with light colors and newly refinished medium oak countertops and center island. Trash compactor, garbage disposal, dish washer, and a Jen Aire oven, stove, and vented grille make it a joy to cook in this home.
