About this home
Perched on the top penthouse floor as one of the community's two largest 2/2 "End Cap" units perfectly captures the vibrant energy of Austin. Designed exclusively with exceptional 12-to-15-foot ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, the space feels incredibly open, airy, and flooded with natural light. The exceptional 12’ to 15’ ceilings are unique to the Penthouse level, dramatically expanding the visual scale of the home. Chef’s Kitchen (Extensively remodeled in 2020): Replaced with extra-tall, premium cabinetry featuring pull-out shelving and soft-close drawers. The massive, custom-built white quartz island serves as a stunning centerpiece, complete with added storage and integrated trash/recycling bins. Hand-Selected Flooring: All flooring has been upgraded to premium Kristynik engineered hickory. The owner hand-selected only the blonde wood cuts for a flawlessly bright, modern aesthetic. Thoughtfully upgraded for automation—power outlets for motorized roller shades have been seamlessly buried behind the sheetrock near the ceiling to ensure all cords stay completely hidden. Enjoy dual outdoor balconies offering stunning sunset views stretching over the Westlake Hills, looking down across the central courtyard pool, and framing the downtown skyline above. Unbeatable Location: Step out your front gate directly onto Austin's famous "Restaurant Row. " You are just down the street from the cool waters of Barton Springs and the green spaces of Zilker Park, the Town Lake Hike & Bike Trail, and exactly one mile from the heart of Downtown. Uniquely valued for a penthouse of this caliber! A highly coveted exclusive asset—this property features a private, locked storage closet right in the garage, a luxury only a select few units possess. * * * Seller is offering a credit of 6 months of prepaid HOA dues on a successfully negotiated purchase contract.
Zilker, located between Lady Bird Lake and Barton Creek, is a park-rich and trail-linked Austin neighborhood with limestone-greenbelt edges and a laid-back, outdoors-first rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at Barton Springs Road and Azie Morton Road, where patios, bike racks, and post-swim crowds set the tempo. Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Metropolitan Park, and the Zilker Zephyr Mini Train act as local pillars and shared meeting points. Housing leans to mid-century ranch homes, updated bungalows, and low-slung modern infill. The Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail and Barton Creek Greenbelt shape daily routes on foot and by bike. Festival lawns, spring-fed water, and skyline views keep the landscape front and center.
