About This Home

As of August 2025

Exquisite and contemporary, this two-story detached condominium is nestled within a secluded enclave in the heart of South Austin. Only moments away from the vibrant South Congress, The Yard, and the upcoming St. Elmo district, this residence offers the perfect blend of urban convenience and tranquil living. Crafted by Storybuilt in 2017, and situated on a corner lot, the property is adorned with landscaping that enhances its already impressive curb appeal. The HOA maintains the landscaping. The ground floor features an open concept living space, seamlessly connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Polished concrete flooring graces the lower level, while alluring hardwoods adorn the upper floor. The generously-sized backyard offers a private oasis, complete with a pergola and maintenance-free turf. Backing onto a tree-lined area, this outdoor haven provides an ideal space for entertaining and privacy. Modern interiors with sleek finishes, stainless steel appliances, and statement lighting adding a touch of sophistication. A two-car driveway with storage adds practicality to the home. Embracing eco-friendly living, the property boasts a 5 Star Green 2.2 Solar system, spray foam insulation, and a tankless water heater. Beyond the confines of the home, a sense of community thrives. The residence is part of a beautiful, quiet, and small community that includes a communal park area, with a fenced dog park. This property is not just a home; it's a harmonious blend of modern luxury, green living, and a sense of community, making it an exceptional place to call home.
