Property Overview

This landmark 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence at 1801 Lavaca Street sits in Cambridge Tower, Austin's first luxury high-rise condominium and a National Register of Historic Places property. Built in 1964, the unit exemplifies mid-century modernist design while offering 1,294 square feet of refined living space in the heart of West Campus. The open-concept floor plan floods with natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, while a full-length balcony frames city views. The recently renovated kitchen flows seamlessly into living areas, ideal for entertaining, and the primary suite accommodates a king bed with an ensuite bath featuring dual vanities and cedar-lined walk-in closet.

The West Campus location provides unmatched proximity to UT's campus, The Drag's eclectic shopping and dining, and walkable access to Downtown Austin and Dell Medical School. The secondary bedroom and bath provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or studio space. Unit 5F benefits from all-inclusive HOA coverage, a significant advantage in the Austin TX market that simplifies budgeting and property management.

At $400 per square foot, this price aligns closely with the West Campus neighborhood median while delivering iconic architecture and location prestige that newer construction cannot replicate. The building's distinction as Austin's original luxury high-rise and its historic designation create lasting investment appeal for buyers seeking character and walkability combined.
