A modern East Austin home with treetop views, walkable restaurants, and downtown just minutes away. This one-bedroom plus flex residence at Santa Rosa offers the rare combination of city energy and peaceful surroundings. Set off the street on the quieter side of the building, the home looks out over tranquil greenery from both the bedroom and private balcony, creating a calm retreat while still being surrounded by some of Austin’s best restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife. Inside, the open layout feels bright and welcoming with wide plank wood flooring and large windows that bring in natural light. A custom wall-mounted walnut console, handcrafted by Austin artisan Steve Pickens, adds warmth and character to the spacious living room. The kitchen blends modern design with thoughtful functionality. Quartz countertops, handcrafted zellige-style tile, sage cabinetry, floating shelves, and stainless steel Samsung appliances are anchored by a Café matte black French door refrigerator. Rejuvenation pendant lighting adds a warm, design-forward touch, while an under-counter Waterdrop filtration system provides everyday convenience. The flex space includes a custom Murphy bed, making it easy to use as a guest room, home office, or creative workspace. The bedroom enjoys peaceful treetop views, while the spa-inspired bathroom features a frameless glass shower and geometric tile. Additional details include Levolor cellular shades and a Miele washer with heat-pump dryer. Enjoy morning coffee on the private balcony or relax on the building’s landscaped rooftop terrace. Walk to Suerte, Canje, Launderette, Fleet Coffee, Festival Beach, and the Lady Bird Lake Trail, with the 7th Street H-E-B just a short walk away. Here, you can enjoy the energy of East Austin while still coming home to a peaceful retreat.
