Back on the market with fresh updates to the bathroom including frameless glass and floor to ceiling tile. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of real estate in one of Austin’s most celebrated and walkable neighborhoods. Perfectly positioned next to the scenic Arroyo Seco walking path and just minutes from the vibrant Burnet Road corridor, you’ll have iconic local favorites like Top Notch, Fonda San Miguel, The Draught House, Taco Deli, and Pinthouse all within easy reach.
