About this home
SOCO 78704 | GATED. RARE. VERY AUSTIN. If your idea of Austin living involves morning coffee on the balcony, live music on a Tuesday, the resurfaced community pool on a hot afternoon, and dinner on South Congress without ever getting in the car, pay attention. This one hits different. Tucked behind the gates at the quiet back end of the community, this rare two-story condo is one of only eight of its kind. And it comes with two covered balconies overlooking a Travis Heights cul-de-sac shaded by soaring oaks. Inside, it’s crisp, contemporary and refreshingly low-key. Wood look click-and-lock laminate flooring flow through the open living, dining and kitchen spaces, with glass sliders opening to a covered balcony with pull-down shades. The updated kitchen brings quartz countertops, subway tile, white cabinetry and stainless appliances, plus a big peninsula with bar seating and statement pendants. There’s even a garden window begging you to level up your culinary adventures with fresh garden herbs. Upstairs, the primary suite is your peaceful sanctuary under soaring ceilings with a bold accent wall, walk-in closet with built-ins, ensuite bath and your own private balcony. A second bedroom and full bath give guests their own space, while a main-level powder room handles everything else. The HOA covers an impressive list of everyday expenses - water, trash, landscaping, structure insurance and common-area maintenance - plus the community pool. Add wooded grounds, a dog park, and Google Fiber and you’ve got a pretty sweet setup. Then there’s the address. South Congress is practically your front yard, with iconic music venues, boutique shops, local eateries and coffee spots all around. Walk down to SoCo HEB, bike to Lady Bird Lake and the Butler Trail, or head downtown in minutes. This one is calling your name – come take a tour today!
Travis Heights, located between Lady Bird Lake and St. Edward’s University, is a historic and hillside Austin neighborhood with winding streets and a canopy of mature oaks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along South Congress Avenue near the Congress Avenue Bridge, where patios, indie boutiques, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks in motion. Early-20th-century bungalows and midcentury homes sit on sloped lots, with pocket parks and stair-stepped views toward downtown. Big Stacy Park and its spring-fed pool set a daily rhythm for walks, laps, and shaded picnics. Continental Club and C-Boy’s Heart & Soul anchor the area’s live-music lineage, while Home Slice Pizza keeps the corner tables busy.
