In this edition of Just Listed–a series from Redfin News that explores listings that are listed by Redfin or Compass agents on Redfin.com–we’re exploring a Mediterranean-inspired estate in Austin, Texas.
Nestled along the shores of Lake Austin in the coveted Rivercrest neighborhood of Austin, TX, this stunning $12 million estate blends luxury living with unbeatable waterfront views. It has four-bedrooms and five-bathrooms, and a standout fireplace in the living room.
It has been on the market for just a few days and won’t last long, said Compass agent Cathy Romano, who is listing the property.
“The home is luxurious inside and out with intricate details and high-end finishes at every turn,” Romano said. “Finding a luxury, move-in ready property like this is rare.”
The home features hand-painted ceilings, sculpted Carrara stone columns and trim work. The ceilings are different in every room; the standout is the domed ceiling at the top of the stairs, which Romano described as “breathtaking.”
The Estate Is a Waterfront, Outdoor Paradise
Spanning more than 18,000 square feet, the Mediterranean-inspired property sits on nearly half an acre and boasts 100 feet of private waterfront access.
Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the home features a newly built boat dock, an oversized deck and cozy fire pit seating area ideal for hosting family and friends. There’s also plenty of room for guests to park, with space for up to 16 vehicles onsite. The courtyard also has a water fountain that is a true show stopper, Romano said.
“The magic of this property is in the balance,” Romano said. “You have Lake Austin as your backdrop, gorgeous sunset views and the charm of living on a pecan-lined street like Rivercrest Drive.”
Inside, Grand Architecture Meets Game-Night Glamour
Inside, elegant touches can be found at every turn: The home has a grand foyer, marble floors, soaring arched ceilings and windows.
Some other standout features include a curved staircase with a wet bar at the bottom, and a game room with a projector for entertainment and a pool table.
The home is located within the Eanes Independent School District, one of the top-rated public school districts in Texas.
“This home is perfect for buyers who want a place for their kids, and maybe their grandkids, to gather at the lake,” Romano said. “The buyer may be an Austin local, or someone who’s relocating from Houston, Dallas, or an out-of-state location like coastal California; perhaps they went to the University of Texas at Austin and want to return.”
