$1,120,000

Property Overview

This end-unit residence at 1111 12th Street sits within de Saligny, an architecturally significant 20-unit condominium designed by acclaimed architect Howard Barnstone in the heart of Clarksville, Austin's most coveted urban neighborhood. Elevated on the hillside, the one-bedroom spans 962 square feet across a single level and commands sweeping views of the downtown skyline, partial Capitol views, and brilliant morning sunrises that frame the living room. The unit has been gutted and meticulously remodeled with new plumbing, electrical systems, and refined finishes throughout, including herringbone hardwood floors, a gas log fireplace, custom Restoration Hardware window treatments, and thoughtful architectural details that honor the building's legacy.

The location places residents within steps of Lady Bird Lake, Congress Avenue, and the 6th Street entertainment corridor, yet the building's exclusive pool courtyard and low density create a serene retreat that feels worlds away from the urban bustle. This is genuine walkability without sacrificing privacy, a rare combination in Downtown Austin. At $1,120,000, the price reflects the building's historic significance, the quality of renovation, and the scarcity of move-in-ready residences in this established neighborhood.

De Saligny represents the gold standard of urban living in Austin for buyers seeking authentic architecture and genuine community at a human scale.

Agent Description

One of only 20 residences in the architecturally significant de Saligny, designed by Howard Barnstone and set in the heart of Old West Austin, this Clarksville condo offers a level of finish, privacy, and walkability that is genuinely difficult to find in Austin at any price. The end-unit position places it elevated on the hill, with sweeping views that take in the downtown skyline, a partial view of the Capitol, and brilliant morning sunrises. Below, the pool is shared exclusively among the building's 20 owners, and watching the still water from your own living room has a quiet, restorative quality that is hard to put into words. The unit has been taken to the studs and fully remodeled with new plumbing, new wiring, and thoughtful finishes throughout, all on a single, easy level. Herringbone hardwood floors run through the living area, where a gas log fireplace anchors the room. Hunter Douglas shades and custom Restoration Hardware panel drapes in both the living room and bedroom allow precise control of the light, and as an end unit, there is no shortage of it. The kitchen and bathroom feature custom marble countertops and Miele appliances, a standard of finish more common in a private home than a condominium. The gated patio extends your living space outdoors, offering room for a pet and a side gated run, a rare find in a lock-and-leave setting. Just beyond, a generous grassy area serves as a natural gathering spot where neighbors meet and dogs play. When you want more, walk to Josephine House, Jeffrey's, Cipollina, Caffe Medici, Fresh Plus, and the independent shops along West Lynn. Pease Park and Shoal Creek are minutes on foot. For a buyer seeking a pied-à-terre, second home, or a luxury Austin condo with no compromise on location or quality, this is a rare opportunity in 78703.
