LAKE TRAVIS VIEWS

By
Real Estate Agent with Austin Texas Homes

 

 

Gary Albertson and wife, Sheri Albertson, who both work at Victory Medical Center in Southwest Austin, built a dream house in 2010 with an amazing view of Lake Travis.

They love the house and plan to replicate the first floor when they move out to their ranch near Burnet. Gary Albertson, an allergist who grew up in Muleshoe, is heading toward retirement and wants to spend it on the ranch raising longhorns. He and his wife, a physical therapist, have put the 4,800-square-foot home on the market for $1.895 million with Carl Shurr of Realty Austin.

The stone-façade home at 5004 Lakeview Drive, off RM 620 near Steiner Ranch, sits on a cliff overlooking a deep cove of Lake Travis. A tram takes the owners to their boat dock and lake, which the Albertsons say is regularly 120 feet deep.

Open the front door and see the barrel ceiling foyer. The master suite is on one side of the foyer. The rest of the main floor is the open living space with large windows to take in the view. A dining area sits next to the kitchen with its own sitting area. A large granite island provides space for barstool seating. Knotty alder cabinetry warms this space.
