Description
Unit 9D is one of the most desirable floor plans in the historic Brown Building Lofts! Featuring sweeping east and north views, this corner unit is filled with light from the four large windows and 10.5’ ceilings. The upper floor units in the Brown Building feature modern energy efficient commercial-grade windows that cut down on heat and effectively reduce noise. 9D has upgraded quartz counters and stainless appliances in the kitchen. The bathroom has been upgraded with hex tile, quartz counters, and recent plumbing fixtures. Originally built in 1938 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, this Austin icon was converted to lofts in the early 2000s. The historic designation means property taxes are dramatically lower than similarly valued downtown properties. A homestead exemption lowers the taxes further, making the Brown Building one of Austin’s most affordable downtown addresses. The $664 monthly HOA fee includes all utilities except electricity & cable/internet. Gigabit internet service is available. A reserved parking space in the attached garage is also included in the monthly HOA fee. Electricity costs are kept low by a chilled water A/C and building boiler for both hot water & heating. The building has secure access and the Art Deco lobby is only accessible to building occupants and their guests. The elevators also require a fob to access the residential floors. The building is pet friendly and there is a dog station across 8th St. Amenities include a resident-only fitness center and rooftop sundeck for enjoying sunsets and evening breezes. The location is a short distance to many of Austin’s notable restaurants and watering holes, but the area around the Brown Building feels more quiet and subdued than other parts of downtown.
