Property Overview

Perched just steps from the iconic Pennybacker Bridge, this single-story mid-century modern townhome in The Courtyard offers rare Lake Austin access that few Cat Mountain properties can claim. The light-filled 1,439-square-foot residence features soaring vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and wet bar, with a primary suite that unfolds across the home's most private corner—complete with a sitting area, dual vanity, and both a walk-in shower and soaking tub. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms flow naturally from the generous living spaces, anchored by a separate dining room and breakfast area ideal for entertaining.

The real distinction lies in the gated, private lakeside park exclusively reserved for Courtyard residents, offering boat ramp and storage access directly on Lake Austin—an amenity rarely found in established Austin neighborhoods. Recent improvements strengthen the home's value: a new roof and garage door (2026), HVAC replacement (2023), and new Hardie siding (2022). The expansive backyard patio opens onto mature landscaping, creating a serene retreat just minutes from top-rated schools and Loop 360, yet nestled within the natural tranquility of Bull Creek's proximity.
