De Saligny is a small, architecturally significant condominium collection in Old West Austin/Clarksville, completed in 1981 and comprising roughly 19–20 residences. The complex reads like a low-rise townhome cluster rather than a typical tower, with individual private entrances, private courtyards, and a mix of one- and two-level floor plans including two-bedroom units and larger multi-level penthouses. Architect Howard Barnstone’s influence is evident in pronounced windows, careful proportion, and masonry details that create a distinctive European-inflected character. Interiors often feature high ceilings, vaulted or double-height spaces, crown moldings, built-in bookcases, quartz or stone counters, hardwood and concrete floors, recessed and track lighting, multiple living areas, and owner-updated kitchens and baths. Common outdoor areas center on a secluded pool and courtyard garden reserved for owners, plus a small gated lawn and limited private rooftop terraces on select units with downtown and Capitol views. Building services and systems are managed by a hands-on HOA that handles exterior maintenance; elevator access is present in some listings though not always operable. Parking is limited and can include attached garage space in select residences. The property’s location is highly walkable to fine dining, neighborhood cafés, boutique shops, Pease Park and Shoal Creek, offering a lock-and-leave lifestyle with a strong neighborhood feel and notable privacy for a central-city address.
