Step inside a rare find at 44 East Condominiums: Unit 2101. 

3 bedrooms | 3 full bathrooms | 3 parking spaces (2 with EV charging) | 4 closets | walk-in utility | 2 urban storage units 

This south-facing residence, entirely custom designed by Kelle Contine Interior Design (KCID), opens to sweeping, protected views of Town Lake. You’re downtown yet it feels worlds away—framed by new parks, Rainey Street, and Waller Creek leading to the new 1 Hotel. Custom electric blinds control light and privacy at the touch of a button. From the sofa or balcony, watch the famous Austin bat colony emerge each evening. 

Walnut floors lead past a commissioned art piece from Wren & Cooper, a vintage Round Top storage chest, and jewel-toned walls. Every detail feels intentional—curated, not staged—and wherever possible, KCID worked with local tradesmen and artists to bring the vision to life. 

Move forward into the open living spaces and the scale of the custom work becomes clear.  In the kitchen, a dramatic rope chandelier by Luke Lamps gives a touch of Texas floating above the large island with a built-in Thermador wine fridge, casting warm light over custom German counter stools reupholstered to bring in color. A large commissioned sculptural fiber art piece by Lauren Williams commands the wall, while a built-in reverse-osmosis alkaline drinking-water system from ensures everyday luxury is practical too. Custom trash and recycling drawer and raised cabinet with stool details by Red Dot Builders keep the lines clean. This is a kitchen designed for both cooking and conversation, with those lake views as your constant backdrop.

Just beyond, the dining area centers on a custom walnut dining table base topped with a lilac honed, custom-cut marble slab from Ann Sacks. Black leather dining chairs from Nest surround it, grounded by a custom wool rug from Scott Group Studio. Overhead, a vintage ceiling-mounted feathered chandelier adds character, while a contemporary steel art piece commissioned by former Australian Olympic swimmer Clementine Maconachie from Dimmit brings international edge. This space is ready for long dinners and celebrations overlooking the water.

Opposite is the condo’s highlight: the custom walnut, brass, and mirrored bar—with a second lilac honed marble slab from Ann Sacks and built-in beverage fridge.  The 2101 bar stands as a showpiece and was a finalist for the Austin Home & Design Awards. It’s the kind of built-in that takes several months of design and fabrication; here it’s already finished and waiting! 

The living room unfolds as the true heart of the home. An Italian sculptural sofa from Nicoline Atelier (Nest) invites you to sink in, paired with green marble coffee tables (Nest) and a custom-cut David Alan silk rug from India. Iconic Eames chairs from Herman Miller offer classic comfort soaking in the lake views while listening to the Sonos sound system and sipping your morning coffee.

The primary suite offers hotel-level luxury.  Enjoy stunning pool and lake views from your king platform bed flanked by Kelly Wearstler marble-and-brass lamps perched on Four Hands nightstands with storage. Underfoot, a Dubai custom-cut shearling-Kashmir rug from Michael Vernon feels like pure indulgence. Custom noise-cancelling paneled upholstered walls and blackout drapes with sewn-in magnets to secure to the custom wall create a true retreat. The custom oak vanity, oversized mirror, and sconce frame a serene dressing area, while the fully custom built-in closet by Red Dot Builders—finished with leathered granite from Ann Sacks—includes a Hayman jewelry safe and velvet-lined drawers. Every surface, every storage solution, has already been designed and installed.

The primary bathroom continues the same level of refinement with a large soaking tub, a custom full-length mirror door by Ventana Glass and another commissioned art piece from Wren & Cooper, plus thoughtful accessories that make the space feel complete.

Down the hall, the office is a study with lake and downtown views. Tailored calm that can also serve as a guest suite: a custom walnut built-in desk and daybed with luxury pillows, steel bookshelves, a black custom hide rug from Agape, and rich red velvet wallcovering by Billy Burns. The full, hall bath is wrapped in custom “spa” wallcovering turning a practical room into a quiet sanctuary. 

The guest bedroom (easily converted to a second office) offers equal luxury. A cream sofa from American Leather hides a king Tempur-Pedic fold-out mattress, paired with collapsible custom upholstered ottomans that tuck seamlessly underneath. A custom hide rug from David Alan, marble-and-brass floor lamp which is also serves as a side table.  Contemporary abstract art, and soft white textured wallcovering create a flexible, high-end space that works as guest suite or private workspace.  The ensuite bathroom features a custom-built closet, a full-length mirrored wardrobe hutch and a custom glass tub/shower enclosure by Ventana Glass.

Step outside and the outdoor living spaces continue the same custom standard. A bar-height driftwood table and stools from Agape invite evening cocktails, while the guest outdoor area offers a custom sectional with Sunbrella covers, a black wooden Adirondack chair with footstool, and washable rugs—all ready for Texas evenings with the lake as your front yard and the bats as nightly entertainment.

Practical luxuries complete the picture: three deeded parking spaces (can be leased out or sold separately) two of which include EV charging. The unit has two bicycle parking spots in the building’s bike room making it convenient for hopping on Butler Trail. Two adjustable overhead parking space storage units add rare practical storage, and the entire collection of furniture and rugs is protected by an annual Fiber Seal program.

Beyond your front door, 44 East itself elevates everyday living with a 37th-floor sky lounge offering panoramic city and lake views, an 11th-floor resort-style pool, a fully equipped gym and yoga studio, a kids’ club area, a dog lounge complete with washing stations and an outdoor dog run, and more!

This is not a typical listing. Nearly half a million dollars in custom furniture, art, built-ins, rugs, lighting, finishes, electric blinds, etc. has already been commissioned, installed, and coordinated by Kelle Contine Interior Design.  You walk into a fully realized, turnkey home where every space has been designed as a complete environment. No waiting for custom orders. No design decisions left to make. No extra cost of furnishing a high-end Austin condo from scratch.  Unit 2101 at 44 East is ready for you to simply move in and live the elevated life it was built for—today.
