Rare opportunity to own this coveted “SE” floorplan residence in the iconic Austonian with one of the city’s best unobstructed views of Lady Bird Lake. For many years, this stunning residence has only had occasional use by the current out-of-state owner and maintained in pristine condition! Floor-to-ceiling walls of windows capture the beauty and energy at all hours of vibrant downtown Austin and Lady Bird Lake. This immaculate lake view residence has an ideal layout for a wide range of luxury living, entertainment, and remote work options and was designed with high-quality fittings & finishings by Lindsay Maki of McWalters Collaborative for a serene and timeless experience. The two bedrooms are en suite with generous proportions and at opposite ends of the unit for privacy. There is also a 3rd bedroom/flex space - currently fitted for a two-person office - but easily reconfigured for an additional bedroom, nursery, theatre or hobby room. ​Sophisticated Finishes A chef’s kitchen offers a generous island, large pantry & cabinet storage, Subzero 36” fridge/freezer, and under-counter wine cooler, plus Viking Pro double stacked ovens and microwave. There is also a 6-burner Bertazzoni gas stove as well as a paneled Bosch dishwasher to complement the thoughtful kitchen further. Other features include the Waterworks kitchen and bath fixtures and wide-plank oak floors.  Most systems in this smart home are conveniently connected to the available Google Fiber 2G for ease of control from your mobile phone (whether you are in residence or the other side of the world) and include programmable LED Lutron lighting, dual Google Nest HVAC controls, BAF Haiku fans and a multiple-zone Sonos sound system with in-ceiling speakers. There are also iWave Residential air cleaners installed on both zones of the HVAC system. Two 6th-floor side-by-side parking spaces with a Type 2 EV charger and a convenient 9th-floor storage room also complement this residence. Whether as a primary residence, a base camp from which to explore the world, or a “lock & leave” part of a residential portfolio, those who can live anywhere choose to live in the Austonian. ​State-of-the-Art Amenities The Austonian is the premier building in downtown Austin with 40,000 sq ft of amenities for only approximately 174 units - one of the best ratios in the city for privacy and exclusivity. The Austonian is also an oasis of space and serenity as an “all owners” building and does not share any space or amenities with revolving hotel guests.  Luxuries include valet parking, a 56th-floor fitness center and a recently renovated and meticulously maintained lobby and 10th-floor common areas comprising an expansive pool & hot tub deck, BBQ areas, a fire pit, a spa room for private treatments, guest suites, catering kitchen, indoor/outdoor social areas, a dog park, dog grooming stations, a theater, bike room as well as 24-hour concierge level service and security. Climate-controlled wine storage is also available. The Austonian is perfectly located in the center of downtown with quick access to the Capital, restaurants, businesses, entertainment, Equinox/Barry’s/Central Crossfit and other athletic facilities, trendy South Congress, Soho House, Zilker Park, Auditorium Shores, Moody Center, UT Austin, City Hall, SXSW & ACL activities, the famous “bat bridge” and the popular Town Lake trail network. The Austonian is also within walking distance to many of the “as planned” light rail system stops around downtown Austin. It has easy access to major roadways for a simple commute to the Austin Bergstrom airport and other parts of the city. ​
