Nicely appointed, rare 2BD/2BA residence offering 1,360 sq ft ?(per tax records) of refined high-rise living with sweeping east-facing views of the Austin skyline, Lady Bird Lake, Shoal Creek, Auditorium Shores, and the iconic Google Building—plus front-row views of Austin’s fireworks displays. The private, covered balcony is fully detached from neighboring units and captures stunning sunrises, cool afternoon shade, and a steady breeze—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The open-concept layout is filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling glass door, dual-paned windows and is complemented by remote-control window treatments, high ceilings and rich hardwoods. The chef-inspired kitchen features stainless steel appliances, seamless flat-front cabinetry with bold, statement hardware. The owner’s suite is a true retreat with a spa-like bath and an oversized custom walk-in closet with built-ins throughout. The spacious guest bedroom also includes a custom-designed closet system for optimal storage and style. Enjoy the living area's custom-built, Molteni wall unit with glass doors, back lighting and cabinetry. Includes two premium parking spaces (#280 & 281) where the owner has upgraded electricity so an EV charger can be installed. Residents enjoy top-tier amenities: 24-hour concierge/security, resort-style heated pool with lake and Hill Country views, outdoor grills and terrace, club and business rooms, and dog wash/relief areas. This highly sought-after floor plan has no shared walls between the living room or bedrooms, delivering excellent privacy and quiet. Located in one of Austin’s most conveniently-located neighborhoods—just steps to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, top dining, nightlife, healthcare, and the Ann and Roy Butler Hike & Bike Trail. Seaholm received the 2020 Austin American-Statesman “Best of the Best” for Downtown Living, & remains one of the city's most coveted addresses. Luxury, privacy, and unbeatable location!

The east-facing vantage point of Unit 1613 at Seaholm Residences delivers one of downtown Austin's most unobstructed panoramic views: the skyline stretches across your sightline, Lady Bird Lake reflects the morning light directly in front, and the Google Building anchors the vista to the northeast. From 222 West Ave in the 78701 zip code, the unit captures a front-row perspective on the city's summer fireworks displays over Auditorium Shores, turning your living room into a natural gathering space without ever leaving the condo.

The floor-to-ceiling glass doors and dual-paned windows are engineered to frame this view constantly. The 1,360 square feet of living space orients entirely around vista exposure. High ceilings amplify the sense of openness, and remote-control window treatments let you adjust privacy without sacrificing sightlines. Natural light floods the open-concept layout from sunrise through afternoon, with the living area's custom Molteni wall unit positioned to complement rather than obstruct the panorama. At $864 per square foot, you're purchasing a fixed vantage point that cannot be replicated or built higher in this location.

The private, fully detached covered balcony separates this unit from neighbors horizontally and psychologically. There's no shared walls between the living room or bedrooms, a rarity in high-rise residential. The balcony's eastern exposure captures sunrise and afternoon shade, with a steady breeze off Lady Bird Lake. The outdoor grill and terrace space are designed for entertaining while anchored by uninterrupted views toward the Hill Country.

Living at Seaholm means proximity to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods on West Ave, the Ann and Roy Butler Hike & Bike Trail at your doorstep, and top-tier dining and nightlife within a two-block radius. Austin ISD schools serving the area include Mathews Elementary, O Henry Middle, and Austin High. The building's 24-hour concierge, heated resort pool with lake views, and EV charging infrastructure (your parking spaces 280 and 281 are pre-equipped) handle the logistics so you focus on the view. This 2014-built property has traded zero days on the market, signaling the floor plan's sustained desirability. The combination of privacy, unobstructed vista, and walkable urban location rarely presents in downtown Austin.

Downtown Austin runs from the Colorado River north to the Capitol, bounded by I-35 to the east and Lamar to the west. It is the densest residential market in Central Texas with high-rise condos, historic lofts, and luxury towers concentrated in distinct sub-districts.

The Seaholm District anchors the west end with the Seaholm Residences and the new Google tower reshaping the skyline. Rainey Street sits along the lake's north shore - what was a street of bungalow bars is now flanked by 40-story residential towers including 70 Rainey and The Lakeshore. The Warehouse District between 3rd and 6th Streets draws buyers who want walkable nightlife and restaurant access. Congress Avenue bisects downtown and remains the civic spine connecting the Capitol to the lake.

The Austonian (56 floors), The Independent (58 floors), and 360 Condominiums are the marquee towers. Newer projects like Sixth & Guadalupe and The Republic continue adding inventory. Price points range from $400K studio condos to $5M+ penthouses with lake and Hill Country views.

Walk Score averages 95+. The MetroRail Red Line stops at downtown station. Major employers including the State of Texas, UT Austin, and a growing tech presence (Google, Meta, Apple satellite offices) generate consistent housing demand. Nightlife, dining, live music, and Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail are all within walking distance.

Buyers here are typically professionals, empty nesters downsizing from suburban estates, investors, and out-of-state relocations drawn to Austin's urban core. HOA fees range from $400/month in older buildings to $2,000+ in full-service towers. Most buildings include concierge, pool, fitness center, and secure parking.
