EXTREME PROPERTY TAX SAVINGS! Spectacular large condo in the coveted Brown Building in the heart of Downtown Austin. MAJOR discount on property taxes (up to 75% off!) due to Historic Exemption, as this 10-story high-rise is on the National Registry of Historic Places. Built 1938, the building maintains a high degree of historic integrity of the Art Moderne/Art Deco style. The building was converted into Lofts circa ~2000, and important elements have been modernized then and since. This condo is unique, the only one in the building as it is 134sf larger than usual, and is the only unit with NO shared walls at all! Super quiet with no street noise! Current owners have done extensive remodeling, with a stunning chef-inspired kitchen with quartz countertops, updated SS appliances, decorative tile backsplash, and custom soft-close Shaker-style cabinetry, plus a real pantry! Featuring 6 huge operable windows, a mix of polished concrete and the original terrazzo tile flooring, and sleek & stylish modern sliding barn doors to both bedrooms and the laundry closet. Amazing storage space throughout, including large hall closet and art niche. Tall ceilings with exposed beams, conduit, and ductwork throughout are well complimented by updated designer fixtures. A half set of stairs leads up to the primary suite, which boasts the original 1938 tile flooring plus a full vintage accent wall with original tile and a walk-in closet with an organizational system. Both bathrooms come updated with contemporary vanities & finishes. One Assigned Garage Parking Space. Google Webpass high speed internet available. HOA Fees include everything but electric and internet. Pet-friendly building. Amenities include rooftop deck, fitness center, and a doggie yard/station across the street.
