Property Description
Located at 805 Congress Avenue, this historic downtown Austin landmark is far more than a residence — it is a rare architectural masterpiece offering history, character, and exceptional versatility. Spanning four stories and more than 15,600 square feet across the upper three levels, the property blends timeless elegance with modern luxury in one of Austin's most coveted locations. A truly irreplaceable feature is the building's grandfathered three-phase electrical service — a rare infrastructure advantage that can no longer be replicated downtown — adding extraordinary flexibility for luxury residential living, large-scale entertaining, hospitality, or creative commercial use. The second floor features an expansive entertainment hall with a commercial-grade kitchen, stage, restrooms, and versatile event spaces for private parties or corporate functions. Amenities include a walk-in wine cellar, multiple convection ovens, a dedicated ice maker, and an exterior built-in bar with sink and stainless steel shelving. The third floor is the heart of the residence, offering two luxurious bedrooms, a home theater, chef's kitchen, and open-concept living and dining spaces for elevated everyday living and effortless entertaining. Historic details pair beautifully with modern conveniences, including a dedicated ice maker. Occupying the entire top level, the owner's suite delivers an unmatched retreat with a spacious bedroom, sitting room, Hollywood-style bath, private gym, and front and rear outdoor living spaces. The front balcony features a fireplace, kitchenette, and sweeping views of Congress Avenue and the Texas State Capitol. A third ice maker services this level for ultimate convenience. Just two blocks from the Capitol, this property places you at the center of Austin's premier dining, nightlife, culture, and entertainment. Rare historic significance, luxury amenities, and unmatched infrastructure make this one of downtown Austin's most exceptional offerings.
