MLS# 7221556 - 6901 Greenshores Drive Unit 5, Austin, TX 78730

Some addresses on Lake Austin offer a view of the water; this one offers the water itself. Set behind the gates of The Landing at Greenshores, at the end of a cul-de-sac on a level 0.912-acre corner lot shaded by heritage trees, 6901 Greenshores holds more than 150 feet of private frontage on the constant-level lake, where the boat is ready year-round and downtown is minutes away. Built in 2007 by Brian Bailey Homes across 5,212 square feet, the residence is a study in warm, substantial materials: beamed and high ceilings, natural woodwork, stone floors, masonry on all sides beneath a metal roof, and walls of glass that pull panoramic lake views into nearly every room. The gourmet kitchen is built for gathering, centered on a copper island with three sinks, built-in refrigeration, a gas range, double ovens, and a wet bar that opens through pass-through windows to the covered outdoor living. Inside, two fireplaces — one anchoring the family room, one on the covered patio — extend the season, while a spa bath with soaking tub and double vanities serves the main-level primary. Three living areas, a dedicated media room, and an upstairs flex room with its own wet bar and built-in bunk beds give everyone room to spread out, while the main-level primary and a connected guest suite with private bath make it as easy for two as for a houseful. The reward waits at the shoreline: a heated gunite pool with waterfall spilling toward the lake, an in-ground spa, a covered loggia with fireplace and summer kitchen, and a private two-slip boat dock with lifts, topped by a second story of covered and open-air living on the water. An oversized three-car garage and a private-maintained road speak to how it was built. Zoned to Highland Park, Lamar, and McCallum within Austin ISD, it holds a genuine position within a small gated enclave on one of Austin's most sought-after waterways. Come see it at the hour these photographs were taken, when the lake turns to glass and the sky goes pink.
