Located in one of Austin's coolest areas, this condo boasts a Five-Star Green Rating from Austin Energy's prestigious Green Building Program. Smack-dab in between North Loop, known for funky vintage shop Room Service and Crestview/Brentwood, where some of Austin's hippest homes (and people) live, 5509 Woodrow kicks back in that very cool and very convenient Burnet/Lamar/Koenig region of town. Close to pretty much everything that represents THE Austin lifestyle: coffee shops, boutiques, Amy's Ice Cream, Phil's Ice House and Dart Bowl. OK, the location is great, so what makes this such a green condo, anyway? Glad you asked: 5509 Woodrow, Unit B is about as green as can be: pre-fab construction, high-efficiency HVAC system, including a heat pump, a programmable thermostat and humidistat, a tankless water heater, dual-flush toilets, bamboo floors, Energy Star kitchen appliances, a metal roof, foam insulation, xeriscaped front yard, low-water grass with crushed granite walkways, (pervious cover which allows water to percolate back into the ground) deep roof overhangs to block out the Texas Summer sun, low-E double-paned windows. Enough environmentally-friendly features to receive 150 points from Austin Energy...more than necessary for a five star rating! Let's talk looks: the builder has a background in design and it shows: using four prefabricated "blocks", he sealed them together in a virtually airtight and seamless building and finished out the rest to his professional standards: stainless appliances, Silestone countertops in kitchen and both bathrooms, gorgeous lighting and ceiling fans, gleaming bamboo floors, efficient use of space and windows that allow light but protect privacy. The house is designed for simple and efficient living but this doesn't preclude luxury: The master bedroom has a wonderful outdoor terrace for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The kitchen has a patio for grilling or for just sitting and listening to the birds in one of the tall trees that offer natural shade in the hot Texas Summer. One look at this home and the good life comes to mind! Neighborhood Description The Crestview and Brentwood neighborhoods are diverse and progressive, home to some of Austin’s best schools, dining, shopping and transit. Originally established in the post-World War II era, these neighborhoods have sustained for decades much of the local business culture that Austin is known for. A recent resurgence of growth and redevelopment in these affordable areas has added more than modern homes; the diverse and eclectic range of everyday offerings has blossomed. From Take-out Thai food to tattoos, you’ll find what you’re looking for pretty close to home. Several parks, grocery store options and quick access to downtown have made this locale a gem - the best of local Austin flair in the calm of a mature neighborhood.
