Turn-key lake living on Lake Travis! This fully renovated three-story home with panoramic water and hill views from every side, with lake access just steps away via a private HOA lakefront park (no dues). Furniture conveys, making it move-in or rental-ready from day one. A 2023 renovation added a new roof, AC, well tank/pump, fresh paint, custom counters, and updated lighting and plumbing.

An elevator serves all three levels. The top floor features two living areas split by a see-through fireplace, a gourmet kitchen with granite counters and a wrap-around breakfast bar, two dining areas, and balconies showcasing the lake views. The second floor holds a primary suite with a private balcony and spa-like bath, plus two more bedrooms and a shared bath. The first floor has a full guest/in-law suite with its own entrance, kitchen, and living area.

Outside: a fenced backyard with fire pit and fountain, a two-car garage plus carport, and low-cost utilities (well, propane, septic). Minutes from dining, marinas, and Volente Beach Village, in sought-after Leander ISD. 4,044 sq ft per appraiser — lake living at its finest!

At $278/sqft, this home is 41% below the Volente active market average of $472/sqft, potentially representing value relative to comparable properties currently on the market. View Austin market report →
