16010 Canard CIR Austin TX 78734 MLS #9543844

Lakefront Italianate masterpiece with stunning Lake Travis views from almost every window and room in the house. Situated on 1.5 manicured acres within the prestigious gated Vineyard Bay neighborhood. Updated, meticulously cared for and elegantly appointed. ‘Old world craftsmanship’ and an absolute commitment to the architectural vernacular. Lavish woodwork begins with the imposing handmade arched double entry doors then woven throughout in the form of custom beams, luxurious crown molding, coved, domed and coffered ceilings… a rich, robust vocabulary that flows from room to room, the warmth of wood subtly juxtaposed against the ‘cool’ elements of the hand plastered walls, travertine floors and marble columns. Similarly the forms expressed throughout the home, each room its own elegant expression brought together into a thoughtful symphony of form and material. Coved, barrel vault and domed ceilings, multi-level tray ceilings framed with intricate crown moldings, coffered and beamed, each its own unique, intimate experience yet seamlessly part of the whole. The thoughtful symmetry of architecture, fit and finish extends to it being a true multi-modal lifestyle home, designed to accommodate multi-generational living, entertainment or vacation arrangements. Amenities abound – enjoy an afternoon on the sun soaked pool and pool deck, spend the day on Lake Travis via your private boat slip, hike down the lighted trail through the woods to the waterfront, enjoy prodigious sunsets over the lake from the expansive colonnaded double balcony, gather in the theater room for movie night or with friends and neighbors at the community clubhouse. Completely independent living quarters downstairs with its own living, dining and kitchen, all accessible by elevator. Master suite boasts spectacular lake views and double ensuite bathrooms. Stately home office. Wine room. Thermador appliances. Must-see elegant lakefront lifestyle estate in one of Lakeway’s premiere neighborhoods.
