Welcome to Austin's premier lock-and-leave community, welcome to The Hillside! This gated condo community is so appropriately named. Located just west of downtown and at the gateway to the Texas Hill Country, it is minutes from top dining, shopping, major employers and the airport. Everything is within reach, and still privacy right at home. As if that were not enough, this condo is tucked away in the community to provide even greater privacy. It is not just about location, but also about elevation. This building, while built on a similar elevation to others, has a lower level of bonus storage, positioning the home for panoramic views from both the main level and the upper level. Step through the walnut door to the open living space with high vaulted ceilings, beautiful hardwood flooring and a gas-log stone fireplace. The chef's kitchen is complete with stainless steel appliances, a large island, gas cooktop, granite countertops, built-in oven and microwave, pendant lighting and generous storage. Just off the living room and dining area is the main balcony offering panoramic views of the Hill Country and a distant downtown view. The primary suite has a spa-like bath with soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower (with viewing windows), dual vanities and a spacious walk-in closet with built-ins. There is a second bedroom and a second living area upstairs, both with easy access to the third balcony. Located just a short walk to the resort style Hillside pool and spa. Connected to the city, with space to retreat. Come see for yourself.
