Welcome to Unit 5F in the historic Brown Building Lofts. Originally constructed 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 landlord-covered monthly HOA fee includes a reserved parking space in the attached garage and all utilities except electricity and cable/internet. Gigabit internet service is available. Unit 5F offers dramatic east-facing downtown views and features dual window shades. The solar shade filters direct sunlight, while the powered blackout shade provides total privacy. The unit comes with appliances, including a refrigerator, a newer Bosch dishwasher, a microwave, an electric range, and a washer/dryer located in a laundry closet. This unit showcases the original terrazzo floors and steel casement windows with 10.5-foot exposed concrete ceilings. Located right off the secure elevators, in/out access is quick. The elegant deco lobby is accessible to building occupants only. The building features a fitness room and rooftop sundeck for enjoying sunsets and twilight breezes. The Brown Building is very pet-friendly! It is situated close to Austin nightlife destinations yet in a quieter part of downtown.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
