Fly Tour Video included - watch for a full walkthrough! Spacious 2/2 condo at a gated community with pool just steps from UT Austin! This 2nd floor unit features a Texas-sized north-facing balcony accessible from the living room and both bedrooms - perfect for relaxing outdoors while escaping the summer heat. The thoughtful roommate-friendly floor plan places bedrooms on opposite ends of the unit, each with its own closet plus a bonus closet just outside each bedroom. This unit features stainless steel appliances, smart thermostat, built-in desk, tile flooring throughout, abundant natural light from large windows, and its wired for Google Fiber. Both bathrooms have been renovated, and one even includes two vanities and an optional bidet. The entire HVAC system (both inside & outside) was replaced about three years ago with a high-capacity, energy-efficient heat pump that keeps the condo cooler in the summer and lowers utility costs, and a UV light air purifier was also added to the HVAC system still under a transferable warranty (for parts, labor, & travel) until 4/1/2030. The kitchen appliances (dishwasher, range, microwave) are also newer for peace of mind. Two reserved controlled access garage parking spaces are located right up front near the stairs, adding unmatched convenience. Community amenities include a sparkling pool and hot tub with lounge deck, and the courtyard also has a grill. The location is unbeatable: walk to UT, hop on the UT Shuttle or CapMetro, and enjoy nearby restaurants, shops, and Adams-Hemphill Park just across the street. Downtown Austin is only a mile away, and the location of Benchmark Condos scores an impressive 81 Walk Score and 88 Bike Score. This is the first opportunity since 2022 to purchase a non-ground floor version of this desirable floor plan with the oversized balcony!
