Price Reduced ListingDowntown living doesn't get much more iconic than this. Set inside Austin's historic Brown Building, this updated studio condo pairs authentic industrial character with one of the biggest perks in Downtown ownership: an incredible Historic Tax Exemption. CRAZY PROPERTY TAX SAVINGS translate to the full year property tax bill likely being under $1500 for an owner occupant/homestead! Otherwise, still about a 35% discount for investors/2nd home. Concrete walls and ceilings, exposed conduit and ductwork, soaring ceilings, and stained concrete floors create a true urban loft vibe, while oversized east-facing windows flood the space with natural light, fresh air, and skyline views that come alive each evening as the setting sun reflects across Downtown's glass towers and nearby historic Norwood tower. The open studio layout makes smart use of every square foot, with room to separate the sleeping space if desired. The kitchen stays connected to the living area, so the skyline never leaves your view, featuring a peninsula with marble bar seating, custom cabinetry with built-in pantry storage, and generous prep space. Excellent closet storage, a full bath, and in-unit laundry round out the interior. The HOA covers everything except electric and internet, making everyday living refreshingly simple. Residents enjoy a brand-new rooftop deck (2025), fitness center, beautifully preserved 1938 marble lobby, three elevators including a freight elevator, secure fob and callbox entry, garage parking, and a dog park just across the street. Positioned on a quieter corner just one block from the energy of Downtown, you're close enough to walk to restaurants, nightlife, entertainment, and major employers while still enjoying a little breathing room when you head home. Historic charm, remarkably low property taxes, and an unbeatable Downtown address make this one worth seeing in person - schedule your tour and experience the Brown Building for yourself.
