Located in the heart of Austin’s highly desirable Clarksville neighborhood, this beautifully updated residence at The Escorial offers timeless design, high-end materials, and exceptional livability—all within a gated Mediterranean-style community. Thoughtfully remodeled, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath condominium spans two elegant levels, showcasing a refined blend of Parisian-inspired charm and modern sophistication. Designed with attention to detail, the home features ornate paneling, crown molding, custom built-ins, light wood floors, and beautiful crisp white walls. The main level welcomes you with a spacious living area anchored by a cozy fireplace and functional built-in shelving. The open-concept dining area flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen, outfitted with GE Cafe refrigerator, a high-end range and marble countertops. A half bath completes the main floor. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a serene retreat with its own balcony, generous closet space, and a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub and thoughtfully designed vanity area. The second bedroom, located on the opposite side of the upper level for privacy, is equally inviting and served by its own full bath. A second outdoor balcony and a tucked-away laundry area with extra storage add to the home’s practicality. Step outside to enjoy the peaceful community amenities, including a pool and well-maintained grounds. The residence includes a private one-car garage and an additional covered parking space. Just steps from some of Austin’s best local spots—Jeffrey’s, Cipollina, Taco Flats, and Fresh Plus Market—this stunning Clarksville home offers the perfect balance of style, comfort, and location.

Clarksville is Austin's most walkable luxury neighborhood — a historic freedman's town founded in 1871, now in 78703, five minutes on foot from downtown. Median home price $2.2M. Austin ISD schools (Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle, Austin High). One of the only Austin neighborhoods where you can walk to fine dining, trails, and downtown without getting in a car.

The housing stock reflects 150 years of history. Original shotgun cottages and bungalows from the early 1900s sit alongside contemporary new builds and sensitive renovations on lots ranging from 0.1 to 0.25 acres. The neighborhood's historic designation (National Register) means you'll see period architecture preserved next to modern infill. Teardown lots trade at $800K-$1.5M for land alone.

West Lynn Street is the commercial spine — Medici coffee, Cipollina wood-fired pizza, Jeffrey's fine dining, Josephine House, and Bar Peached are all within a few blocks. Pease Park and Shoal Creek Trail border the east side. The Whole Foods flagship at 6th and Lamar is a 10-minute walk.

What makes Clarksville distinct: the combination of walkable daily life, historic character, and proximity to downtown that no other Austin neighborhood matches. The tradeoff is small lots, limited parking, and premium pricing for the location. Buyers here are paying for a lifestyle that doesn't require a car.
