This was a classic South Austin home in the Carrell Oaks subdivision off of William Cannon, inbetween Manchaca and South First Street.  The home was 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with approximately 1300 square feet.  The unusual thing about this home is that it sat on a huge 1/3 acre lot, which was twice as large as what is normally found in the neighborhood.   So besides being a killer little South Austin bungalow it had this amazing lot for backyard recreation, the owners dog to play fetch with the ball, and gardening.  The outside firepit already existed for those nice cool winter fall and winter nights where you could sit outside with your friends, look at the stars and have your own campfire.

This condo is located in the heart of the very popular and desirable Zilker neighborhood in the esteemed 78704 zip code.   Built in 2005 the condominium features 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1821 square feet, a large 2 car garage,  3 stories with a bedroom and bathroom on each level with the master bedroom on the top floor for ultimate privacy.   This condominium has a top level finish out throughout, with offset tile in the entry way and hardwood flooring in the second level living area, granite counter tops and tile back splash and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen.  Soaring 10 foot ceilings with floor to ceiling windows on each wall in the main living area provides a very bright open feeling as you look out into the trees.  A fireplace to keep you cozy and set the mood on those fall and winter nights, with custom shelves and cabinets on the sides.    The condo is located in the very back of the complex providing plenty of privacy, low traffic and low noise.

The master bedroom has access to two balconies.  Open the french doors and step out onto your own sanctuary in the tree tops, then take the stairs up to the top balcony and enjoy the panoramic views of downtown Austin and surrounding areas.  The master bathroom features a double sink vanity, garden tub with jets, and a fully tiled walk in shower with built in bench.  Two large separate closets for all your clothing.

Conveniently located within 2 miles of downtown Austin.  Walking distance to Austin’s crown jewel Barton Springs and Zilker Park.   Of course don’t forget all the top entertainment in the area.  All the popular restaurants on Barton Springs Rd.  The new entertainment, dining and shopping cooridor on South Lamar featuring nationally recognized restaurants Olivia, Barley Swine and Uchi.   You can catch a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse, going bowling or sing karaoke at the Highball, or grab beers and grub at one of many popular bars - Gibsons, Black Sheep Lodge, Baker St. Pub, or Red’s Porch.
