Perfectly positioned next to the scenic Arroyo Seco walking path and just minutes from the vibrant Burnet Road corridor, you’ll have iconic local favorites like Top Notch, Fonda San Miguel, The Draught House, Taco Deli, and Pinthouse all within easy reach.

This true two-bedroom layout also includes a separate office flooded with natural light—perfect for working from home or creating a cozy reading nook.
