Spanning four stories and more than 15,600 square feet across the upper three levels, the property blends timeless elegance with modern luxury in one of Austin's most coveted locations.
A truly irreplaceable feature is the building's grandfathered three-phase electrical service — a rare infrastructure advantage that can no longer be replicated downtown — adding extraordinary flexibility for luxury residential living, large-scale entertaining, hospitality, or creative commercial use.
The second floor features an expansive entertainment hall with a commercial-grade kitchen, stage, restrooms, and versatile event spaces for private parties or corporate functions.

Historic details pair beautifully with modern conveniences, including a dedicated ice maker.
Occupying the entire top level, the owner's suite delivers an unmatched retreat with a spacious bedroom, sitting room, Hollywood-style bath, private gym, and front and rear outdoor living spaces. The front balcony features a fireplace, kitchenette, and sweeping views of Congress Avenue and the Texas State Capitol. A third ice maker services this level for ultimate convenience.
