A modern penthouse found high up in the W Residences Austin in Downtown Austin, Texas, has changed hands after roughly two weeks on the market, according to the listing brokerage. The asking price, which included the furnishings, artwork and other household accoutrements, was $5.95 million.
Sleek and stylish furnishings are meaningfully placed throughout the penthouse.
That the turnkey unit was so quick to attract a buyer’s gaze comes as little surprise. The bird’s eye view observed from the private residence takes in the Colorado, a gentle giant that meanders through the heart of the Texas state capital like a lazy river. The panorama also reveals Lady Bird Lake, the Hill Country and the downtown skyline.

The living and dining rooms face a corner window capturing the horizon. Custom artwork above the steel fireplace hides the television. A sculptural chandelier over a sculptural coffee table unites the seating area. Subtle blue accents play off the light interior.
