Historic Brown building! Owners enjoy a fantastic property tax break with historic exemption. Current owner does not have homestead exemption, but with an owner-occupied HS exemption, the taxes would be approx. 3K! The iconic Brown, built in 1938, was converted to loft spaces in 2005 and is a distinctly cool and affordable downtown Austin address. From the art deco lobby to the industrial chic interiors, there is nothing like it. The HOA fee includes a reserved parking space in the attached garage and all utilities except electricity and cable/internet, and Google fiber internet service is available in the building. The lobby and 3 elevators are accessible to owners via keyfob, and visitors are required to have code or call from an outside security box. The building has a fitness room and rooftop sundeck for owners enjoyment, is super pet-friendly. Enjoy quick access to the parking garage, too. This location is quiet, yet in the heart of Austin, close to restaurants and nightlife. Unit 2H is a unique 1 bedroom unit with a corner location, large windows and awesome natural light. This condo is true to its historic loft roots and features terrazzo floors throughout, large steel casement windows and 10.5 foot high exposed concrete ceilings. It has a terrific floorplan with a unique hall entry, a well-appointed kitchen, and large private bedroom with two custom closets. The in-unit washer and dryer, refrigerator, wine mini-fridge, and microwave will convey to buyers.
