631 Tillery Street, Unit 2

Here in the charming and centrally-located East Austin neighborhood of Govalle is a home with higher ambitions, thanks to its inspiring modern design by acclaimed HBA Award-winning local builders The Cobalt Companies. This well-thought-out home features an elegant layout and three bathrooms — two full, one half — a rarity among comparably-sized offerings. You’ll also find an uncommon openness in its picture-perfect kitchen, soaked in natural light from ample windows, better to see the designer fixtures and stainless steel appliances. With smart touches including a SimpliSafe doorbell security system and tankless water heater, the home is thoroughly modern, though with a timeless warmth from custom wooden cabinetry, artistic tile work, and a stunning central floating staircase made from reclaimed wood that feels like a contemporary sculpture. Cathedral ceilings make the primary bedroom a restorative space, with ample light and a convenient ensuite bathroom. The home’s landscaped private yard is fully fenced and gated, and the adjacent covered carport with an electric car charging outlet can also be repurposed for outdoor entertaining in all weather. You’re close to many of Austin’s most interesting bar and restaurant concepts, along with one of the city’s best coffee shops - literally right around the corner. This district has lots of local charm, but you’re only minutes away from the center of the action in downtown or one of several surrounding entertainment districts, including East Sixth Street and Rainey Street.
