A recent renovation combined three units into one magnificent home in historic Cambridge Tower, an iconic, mid-century modern building adjacent to The University of Texas and Dell Medical, plus steps away from restaurants and shops. Inside this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath accommodation is a vision of old Hollywood glamour with attention to architectural details, modern living, and exquisite luxury. A library with richly stained wood shelving, panels, and patterned flooring of glossy stone and wood connects separate gathering spaces on either side, with one end leading to a sitting area, spacious chef’s kitchen with ample storage, counterspace, double ovens, and both casual and formal dining. This is an exceptionally large corner unit, and its high windows and wrap-around terrace emphasize the abundant light and expansive views of UT, downtown, and the Capitol. These incredible vistas can also be appreciated from the primary suite that includes a massive, mirrored and marble walk-in dressing room complete with special touches such as display cases and built-in watch winders. The beautifully veined marble carries into the sparkling bath with soaking tub and separate steam shower. A private guest bedroom could just as easily feel like the principle suite, with its full bath’s whimsical black and white, Audrey Hepburn-esque wall paper that evokes another era. Swarovski crystal lighting casts ambience onto the gallery-white walls and coffered ceilings throughout, even in the powder room, where a show-stopping fixture illuminates opulent stone tiles. Cambridge Tower amenities include a pool, rooftop terrace, fitness room, 24-hour concierge, and a 24-hour attendant in the covered garage that offers a rare instance of 4 designated parking spaces as well as 4 storage cabinets.
