301 West Ave Unit #2806, Austin, TX 78701

One-of-a-kind, custom 2-bedroom residence with breathtaking lake views from the 28th floor. The only unit in the building featuring this reimagined floor plan, this home has been thoughtfully redesigned to maximize space, storage, and luxury living. The primary suite offers an expanded walk-in closet with a custom white oak closet system, created by combining the original closet and utility space for exceptional functionality. The spa-inspired primary bath showcases dramatic Dekton slab walls, upgraded countertops, and warm brass finishes for a sophisticated, designer feel. The kitchen is equally impressive, featuring striking White Fusion countertops, a live oak slab dining table, customized cabinet inserts, and elevated finishes throughout. Smart living upgrades include a Legrand lighting system, motorized shades, and bonus custom storage solutions. Two premium parking spaces convey. Perfectly positioned with direct access to Shoal Creek and the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail, this residence offers effortless walkability to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and some of Austin’s best dining and entertainment. Residents enjoy two full floors of resort-style amenities including a pool, yoga studio, state-of-the-art fitness center, theater, dog park, outdoor terrace, club and conference rooms, guest suites, bike storage, and 24-hour concierge service.

Waterfront positioning on a high floor is the defining advantage here, and 301 West Ave Unit #2806 puts that scarcity inside Downtown Austin in downtown Austin. At $1.30 million, or $1,014 per square foot, this is a 1,281 square foot, two bedroom, two bath condominium built in 2019 with two garage spaces, set within Austin ISD and assigned to Mathews Elementary, O Henry, and Austin High.

What separates this residence from standard downtown inventory is not just the 28th-floor lake exposure, but the fact that the floor plan itself was reworked for better daily function. The layout was redesigned to improve storage and livability, which matters in a condo at this size and price point. The primary suite reflects that decision clearly, with an expanded walk-in closet built from the original closet and utility footprint and finished with a custom white oak system. That is the kind of change buyers feel immediately because it improves how the home actually works, not just how it photographs.

The kitchen and primary bath were also upgraded with a clear material point of view. White Fusion countertops, custom cabinet inserts, and a live oak slab dining table bring weight and permanence to the kitchen. In the bath, Dekton slab walls, upgraded counters, and brass finishes push the space beyond builder-grade execution. These are targeted improvements in the rooms that do the most work for resale and day-to-day use. The added Legrand lighting system, motorized shades, and custom storage solutions continue that theme. This is a residence that has already absorbed the cost and effort of meaningful customization.

The location strengthens the value case. Direct access to Shoal Creek and the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail gives this unit real connection to the waterfront, not just a distant view line. Walkability to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, dining, and entertainment supports lock and leave ownership as well as full-time use. The amenity package is extensive, with two full floors that include a pool, yoga studio, fitness center, theater, dog park, outdoor terrace, club and conference rooms, guest suites, bike storage, and 24-hour concierge service.

With only 16 days on market, this condo is positioned where sophisticated downtown buyers tend to focus first: protected waterfront orientation, modern construction, useful customization, school continuity through Austin ISD, and a location that remains difficult to replicate as the urban core matures.

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.
