Lake Access & Luxe Updates Shine in Cuernavaca Charmer

If you’ve been hunting for that elusive West Austin unicorn—a stylish home with character, shade trees, outdoor living, and lake access—your search might just end at 2004 N Cuernavaca Dr.

This thoughtfully updated gem in the beloved Cuernavaca neighborhood balances modern design with natural serenity. Inside, light wood floors and new picture windows fill the open-concept living space with warmth and light. The kitchen is on point with quartz counters, stainless appliances, and an effortlessly sleek vibe. But what really sets this home apart is the downstairs flex space. It’s officially a fourth bedroom, but could also be a guest suite, media room, gym, or your new home office with lake access bragging rights.

Step outside and you’re greeted by the kind of backyard Austinites dream of—mature oak trees, a covered patio with an outdoor kitchen, and peaceful vibes all around. The cherry on top? Deeded access to Lake Hills Community Association Park. For just $600/year, you get water access (and if you're lucky, boat launch privileges for a bit more), skipping the years-long waitlist most residents face.
