Agent Description

Residence 1908 is a rare west- and north-facing corner home at 70 Rainey with sweeping views across Lady Bird Lake, Downtown Austin, parkland, and Hill Country sunsets. At 1,434 square feet, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence lives larger than expected with 11-foot ceilings, walls of glass, an oversized terrace, and two adjacent controlled-access parking spaces. The design palette — European walnut oak floors, marble and natural stone, crisp white millwork, and brushed gold accents — was curated for longevity rather than trend. Thoughtful upgrades include custom entry storage, a pantry/coffee station, smart lighting, blackout shade controls, and upgraded acoustic secondary glazing in the bedrooms for a quiet interior just moments from Austin’s best dining, nightlife, and outdoor recreation. Unlike many downtown residences, #1908 overlooks city parkland with views stretching toward the lake and skyline, offering a rare and open visual experience in the heart of the city. Residents of 70 Rainey enjoy 31,000 square feet of amenities, including a 72-foot infinity-edge pool overlooking Lady Bird Lake, private cabanas, outdoor kitchens, fitness center, dry sauna, yoga terrace, theater room, resident lounges, dog amenities, and 24-hour concierge — all moments from the Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail and the energy of Rainey Street.
