West Rim neighborhood looks like it was taken straight from the pages of a storybook. Mature trees line the streets, and timeless architecture fills each estate-sized lot. It’s the kind of place where kids roam freely, doors are left unlocked, and core memories are made.Here’s a rare opportunity to own one of the most elegant homes in the neighborhood. Tucked away in the cul-de-sac of a quiet street, this 5500 sq ft five-bedroom home has been completely updated and remodeled—every detail polished, every room move-in ready. Inside, you’ll find clean, thoughtful design and turnkey comfort… a space that lives as beautifully as it looks.And it only gets better. Step outside to your own private oasis—complete with a pool and hot tub, cabana with an outdoor kitchen and half bath, sports court, and plenty of room to play, relax, and entertain. Still need a reason to fall in love? Let’s talk about the neighborhood’s private homeowner’s park. A hidden sidewalk leads you and your neighbors down to this exclusive gated park on Lake Austin. It’s your family’s 24/7 rec center, offering everything you need to enjoy Austin’s year-round outdoor lifestyle—tennis, basketball, pickleball, volleyball, a playscape, BBQ grill, and of course… your very own boat dock for exploring Lake Austin. What sets this apart from any other home? Three traditional West Rim lots could fit inside the perimeter of this one lot, this one has immediate access to a boat slip, in addition to public water it also has a water well for landscaping and pool, and a potential additional entrance from Westlake Dr. It has also been pre-inspected and sellers are willing to share that report with potential buyers.
