Behind a gated, walled entry on the shores of Lake Austin, this Tuscan-inspired estate pairs old-world craftsmanship with the easy rhythm of life on the water. The landscaped 0.405-acre grounds open to approximately 90 feet of waterfront and a private beach, a short stroll from the iconic Ski Shores Cafe. Arched solid-wood double doors lead to a vaulted foyer with stone floors, where the eye travels straight through the home to the negative-edge pool and the lake beyond. This property offers 5 en suite bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, 2 living rooms, a formal dining room, and 2 game/flex rooms, with lake views from nearly every room. Plaster walls, triple crown molding, and copper sinks and fixtures set the tone throughout. The kitchen centers on an oversized island of natural stone that glows from within, complemented by custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a large walk-in pantry, and picture windows framing the pool and lake. The laundry/mudroom and 4-car garage are close at hand. The main level also includes a relaxed family room anchored by a spectacular saltwater aquarium and a primary suite with dual walk-in closets, double vanities, a soaking tub overlooking the water, and a private entrance to the pool and hot tub. Upstairs are a spacious second living area, 4 en suite bedrooms, a handsome office with custom woodwork and a coffered ceiling, a music/flex room, and a fully equipped gym. Outdoors, the property lives like a private resort. Multiple patios and terraces surround the pool and spa, complete with water features, fountains, a fire pit, and an outdoor fireplace. End the day on the upper party deck of the boat dock, where sunsets over the water are the main event. This is Lake Austin living at its finest.
