True single-family living in a site condo - with NO HOA. Set on a prominent corner lot in the St. Elmo district, 709 W. St. Elmo #1 has two independent driveways opening onto two separate streets. Unlike typical A/B site condos - where the rear unit shares a long driveway past the front home - this residence lives, feels, and functions like a detached single-family home. No shared driveway. No passing a neighbor's front door to reach yours. Real privacy, real autonomy. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, expansive windows, and wide-plank wood floors create a light-filled, open atmosphere. Eight-foot solid-core doors and crisp modern finishes speak to a level of craftsmanship rarely found in newer construction at this price point. The kitchen anchors the home with a generous entertaining island, KitchenAid appliances, and abundant prep space - seamlessly connecting to the living and dining areas for effortless everyday living and hosting alike. Upstairs, a spacious loft offers valuable flex space - a second living area, office, media room, or creative studio. Four bedrooms and a versatile layout adapt to remote work, guests, or evolving needs, with potential for multi-generational living or future income flexibility. Built to last: during the seller's purchase inspection, a civil engineer/master inspector called the foundation design and execution among the best he had evaluated in new builds at the time. Outside, a private fenced yard, covered patio for al fresco dining, and a detached storage shed for bikes and gear. Just 200 ft from the planned Bergstrom Spur Trail, an exciting future greenway linking South Austin to miles of outdoor recreation. Minutes from the St. Elmo Public Market, Still Austin Whiskey, downtown Austin, ABIA, I-35, and Ben White. Site condominium with NO HOA fees and NO shared expenses: all the privacy and independence of a single-family home, w/o the compromises of typical condo living.
