Situated just steps from Lady Bird Lake and just minutes from all that Downtown Austin and SOCO offer, this well-appointed 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo offers unbeatable access to Austin’s beloved Ann and Roy Butler hike-and-bike trails that include 10 miles of trails perfect for biking, running, walking, and playing as well as water access to the lake via private boat dock, perfect for SUP and other water activities! This property is a short walk to vibrant cultural hotspots such as shopping and dining on South Congress, the infamous Zilker Park which hosts events such as ACL, the trail of lights, the kite festival, and more!

You'll find custom Elfa shelving in the spacious walk-in closet in the primary bedroom, two assigned parking spaces (one covered), and peace of mind with a new AC compressor and electrical upgrade completed less than a year ago.
