A magical waterside retreat on Lake Austin; this special home is sited dramatically above the water on a .76-acre parcel with lush hillside views of Mount Bonnell & Covert Park. You'll find a reason to spend as much time as possible on the veranda gazing out at the vista from quiet morning coffee to margaritas with friends at sunset.
