This rarely-available C1 floor plan, spanning 2,517 square feet, is the premier floor plan at prestigious Fifth & West. The 3-BR, 3-bath (plus study) home has floor-to-ceiling windows which frame panoramic southeastern views of the Austin skyline. Spacious open kitchen with custom Italkraft cabinets, quartz countertops, a massive center island, Miele appliances, and an enclosed walk-in pantry. Two terraces offer sunrise views. Motorized shades and smart lighting make for an easily-controlled ambience. The windows on the southeast side of the building are triple-paned; a highly desirable feature for downtown living. The owner's suite has a private study leading into a BR with large walk-in closet, en suite marble bathroom with frameless glass shower, soaking tub, private water closet, and a wide double vanity. Large laundry room with a sink & side-by-side washer and dryer, rare for high-rise living. On the opposite wing, two secondary bedrooms--one with a private terrace--offer en-suite baths and large walk-in closets. The views from this unit look across the capitol view corridor, with a panorama of some of Austin's most iconic buildings. Large walk-in storage unit and two convenient parking spaces--each wired for electric vehicle charging (and one that has a Tesla charger already installed). Built in 2018, Fifth & West is a distinctive triangular tower with Michael Hsu-designed amenity spaces. From 24-hour concierge to magnificent pool and sun deck, state-of-the-art fitness center & yoga studio, catering kitchen & dining room, resident lounges & conference room, guest suites, and an indoor/outdoor pet area, Fifth & West has it all. Footsteps away from fantastic shopping, dining & nightlife venues, Austin Central Library, BookPeople, REI, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. The Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge, Lady Bird Lake Trail, and Shoal Creek Trail take you to Zilker Park, Pease Park and beyond--a dream location for a walker, hiker, or cyclist.
