About This Home
Incredible opportunity to own a luxurious, two-story penthouse-level condo in the prestigious Austin City Lofts—perfectly positioned in the heart of Downtown Austin and just minutes from Lady Bird Lake, Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and all the dining, shopping, and cultural attractions the city has to offer. Renovated by Butterfield Custom Homes, this sleek and modern residence features soaring 22-foot ceilings and expansive south-facing windows that flood the space with natural light and showcase stunning skyline views. The open floorplan is ideal for entertaining, with a crisp marble kitchen outfitted with luxury appliances, a wine fridge, and a waterfall island that seamlessly flows into the dining and living areas. A private oversized balcony provides an impressive setting for outdoor lounging above the city. The spacious primary suite includes a second living area, spa-like bathroom with oversized soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a custom California Closet walk-in. A flexible loft space offers room for a home office, media zone, or guest retreat. High-end touches like motorized blinds, vaulted ceilings with a mounted 4K LG TV Projector with a 16'x7' electronic drop-down screen, and luxury finishes elevate the experience, with two side-by-side reserved parking spaces, a resort-style pool and hot tub, fire pit, and 24-hour concierge add convenience and comfort. Zoned to O'Henry Middle and Austin High, this turnkey luxury condo delivers a rare blend of design, functionality, and unbeatable location. Seller financing is available upon request.
A two-story penthouse-level condominium with 2,215 square feet is a scarce offering in Downtown Austin, and 800 W 5th St Unit #1209 puts that scale inside Austin at $1.50 million, or $677 per square foot. In a market where many urban luxury units trade on location alone, this one pairs true vertical volume with a central Travis County address in Austin, TX 78703. Built in 2003 and set on a 0.0122-acre condominium footprint, it stands out for the kind of interior proportions buyers notice immediately and remember.
The layout is direct and functional. Two bedrooms and two baths are spread across a two-story plan with 22-foot ceilings, strong natural light from expansive south-facing windows, and a loft configuration that gives the home more than one way to live in it. That flexibility matters. It can support a full-time residence, a lock-and-leave downtown base, or a work-from-home setup without forcing the living areas to do every job at once. The primary suite adds another layer of utility with space for a secondary sitting area, while the loft can serve as office, media, or guest overflow depending on how the next owner uses the home.
The renovation by Butterfield Custom Homes is another meaningful point of differentiation. The kitchen is finished in marble and fitted with high-end appliances, a wine fridge, and a waterfall island that connects cleanly to the dining and living spaces. An oversized private balcony extends the usable footprint outdoors. Motorized blinds, a mounted 4K LG TV projector with a 16-foot by 7-foot electronic drop-down screen, vaulted ceilings, and custom closet work push the residence beyond standard downtown condo inventory. Two side-by-side reserved parking spaces, a resort-style pool and hot tub, fire pit, and 24-hour concierge round out the ownership profile in practical ways that matter in daily use.
Location remains a core part of the value equation. The home is positioned in the heart of Downtown Austin, with Lady Bird Lake, Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and the city’s dining, shopping, and cultural core all referenced as part of its immediate orbit. At 171 days on market, buyers have time to evaluate it carefully, but the product itself remains unusual: penthouse-level scale, renovated interiors, and real flexibility in a proven downtown building. For buyers who understand that long-term value in urban luxury often comes from floor plan rarity, usable volume, and location permanence, this is the kind of property that continues to make sense over time.
