About This Property
Introducing an extraordinary opportunity to own a certified historic residence in the heart of Downtown Austin. Originally built in 1874, this freestanding 8,800 square foot estate has been masterfully reimagined, blending rich architectural heritage with refined modern luxury. This five-bedroom, five full and three half-bathroom residence offers unparalleled elegance and function across its sprawling footprint. Every inch reflects impeccable craftsmanship--from the soaring ceilings and custom millwork to the stunning designer finishes and curated lighting that illuminate the home's timeless character. Perched along one of Austin's most iconic corridors, the home offers panoramic city views and an expansive rooftop terrace overlooking Congress Avenue--the perfect setting for private entertaining or tranquil urban escape. A rare three-car garage and gated access ensure both convenience and privacy, a true luxury in downtown living. Zoned for flexible use, 811 Congress presents an exceptional opportunity for dual residential and commercial potential--ideal for a boutique office headquarters, gallery space, or a one-of-a-kind urban residence.
