About This Home

One-bedroom urban studio loft in the historic Brown Building, deep in the heart of downtown Austin with super rare major tax savings from the historic tax exemption (up to about 75% w/homestead and estimated 35% without-investors). Coveted corner unit showcasing four massive sections of windows, super views and cheery light streams. Built in 1938, this Art Deco landmark blends timeless architecture with modern comfort. Inside, the open loft layout features tall 10 ft+ concrete ceilings, spacious updated kitchen w/island, in-unit full washer and dryer connections, updated bath, stainless appliances and bright open spaces capturing the energy and heartbeat of the city below.  Quiet, super secure building with an elegant marble lobby, original vintage mailboxes, three fast elevators, private fob access and a callbox for guests and deliveries. Amenities include a rooftop deck with panoramic skyline views, well-equipped fitness center and one easy access space in attached garage parking. HOA covers water, sewer, trash, and parking. Central chilled-water HVAC keeps utilities very low resulting in Brown Building residents enjoying the most economical downtown ATX living. Google high-speed internet. Very pet friendly community with no weight limit. Warrantable for conventional financing. No STR; 6-month minimum lease. Step outside and experience your best life. Sip coffee at Houndstooth, Jo’s, or Merit, dinner at Comedor, Red Ash, or La Condesa, and weekend visits to the Downtown Farmers Market at Republic Square. Trader Joe’s, Lady Bird Lake, 2nd Street District, Hike/Bike Trails, State Capitol, and Waterloo Park are all just a short walk away. Truly a rare gem offering history, design, and location in one classic downtown address.
