IF you are a WATER lover and a nature lover and a CITY lover- THIS property is for YOU!!

The first thing you will see as you walk into your living space is a huge wrap around deck and dramatic picture window providing expansive views of the aforementioned AMAZING Zilker Park. (You can watch people play in the park and see the back gate of Barton Springs Pool from the deck)

3 sets of French doors open to the park side deck with wonderful breezes which “invite the outdoors in,” providing a truly spectacular experience of the park.

The décor has been described as Costa Rican inspired and offers a tranquil setting through its thoughtful custom use of all natural materials.
