Wonderful opportunity in a coveted community in Travis Heights that's the best of both worlds, so close to Downtown while being surrounded by nature. This cute 1 bed/1 bath has nice light, custom built-in shelving and overlooks a courtyard. Unique to this unit, a patio leads to a storage closet equipped with a washer and dryer—an uncommon feature in the community. There have been recent updates in the community and more planned for the near future: last year all of the roofs were replaced, wood was repaired, fresh paint throughout, coming soon are new mailboxes & gates, plus courtyard right off the balcony will be redone. Amenities include a pool & community dock with canoe, kayak and SUP storage areas. Nestled right on Town Lake, this is truly a prime location in 78704 with easy access to all the restaurants, shopping & entertainment on South Congress. Pride in ownership shows, must see this gem!
Rarely available, beautifully appointed condo! Carrier HVAC w/ HEPA Filter 6 years old (barely used), and serviced every year. Two water heaters, one allocated for full size stackable W/ D in large utility closet on back balcony. Updates include new ceiling fans (including rare balcony one), recessed lighting, new paint, PUR water filter, sinks, granite, tile, lighting. Great location in quiet complex, just steps away from the water. Overlooks courtyard. Close to everything DT and SoCo has to offer!FEMA - Unknown Restrictions: Yes Sprinkler Sys:Yes
