Few homes in Apache Shores are designed the way this one is — three stories built around a single purpose: capturing the hill country from every level, while keeping you minutes from the Lake Austin waterfront.
This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home at 2206 Whitebead Trail was laid out with the lot's elevation in mind from the start. Rather than fighting the terrain, the floor plan works with it — placing the main living areas and the entire primary suite on the upper levels where the scenery is most dramatic. The result is a home that feels connected to the landscape every hour of the day, from morning light over the hills to golden-hour views off the balcony.
Apache Shores is one of Austin's best-kept secrets for lakeside living — a quiet, established neighborhood with a community boat ramp and direct access to Lake Austin, all while remaining a short drive from the shops, restaurants, and conveniences of southwest Austin. Residents also enjoy the benefit of being zoned to Lake Travis ISD, one of the most sought-after school districts in the region.
The ground floor entry sets the tone with a bright, open foyer finished in stained concrete — a practical and stylish choice that holds up beautifully to lake life, pets, and everyday Texas living. Both guest bedrooms are on this level, sharing a full bath, with easy access to the garage and the large backyard beyond.
The second floor is where the home opens up. Engineered wood flooring runs throughout the main living, kitchen, and dining areas — all of which feel light-filled thanks to generous windows on every wall. The living room includes built-in shelving and flows directly onto a front-facing balcony with unobstructed hill country views. In the kitchen, a center island with a butcher block countertop anchors the space, surrounded by granite surfaces, a tile backsplash, and stainless appliances. A quiet home office is tucked away on this level — ideal for remote work without sacrificing views.
The entire third floor belongs to the primary suite — a rare layout that delivers true separation and privacy. A window-framed sitting area offers arguably the best sunrise views in the house, while the ensuite bath features a dual vanity, jetted tub, separate shower, and an oversized walk-in closet.
Outside, the xeriscaped front yard keeps maintenance minimal without sacrificing curb appeal, while the backyard provides a shaded retreat under mature trees — a perfect complement to life on the water just down the road.
