Description
Tucked into a picturesque street and canopied by gorgeous Texas oaks, this 3-bed/2-bath home + flex space delivers the kind of character you expect in Travis Heights. At 1,665 sq ft on .102 acres, it lives large with design-forward updates that feel whimsical and intentional. The whole home strikes that rare balance: vintage and charming, but genuinely renovated. Step inside from the front porch into a bright, welcoming living room where natural light pours in. The modern kitchen is full of fun design moments, think personality, not a showroom, complete with pantry and laundry. Upstairs, two light-filled guest rooms share an updated bath. The primary suite is a showstopper, a huge room with a dedicated sitting area, skylights, custom wallpaper, an updated bathroom and closet, and a private balcony with peek-a-boo downtown Austin views. The garage conversion is a huge feature: fridge, storage, and dual access that opens directly to the backyard, perfect as a home office, game room, gym, creative studio, potential fourth bedroom or just use it as a garage. Out back, a large deck for al fresco dining, custom bench seating, a heated and chilled cowboy pool, smart exterior lighting and views of the twinkling downtown city lights make this one of the best entertaining yards on the street. More than 100k of improvements in 2024: flooring, drywall, custom wallpaper, appliances, fixtures, bathrooms, the garage flex space, upstairs balcony, landscaping, pool, and sprinklers. HVAC with UV filter updated in 2019. Google Fiber in place. Can STR with a license. Fridge, washer, and dryer all convey. Downstairs closet has half-bath potential. Technically an A/B condo with one shared wall, this home lives like a single-family with a no-fee HOA and a two-owner association. Walk to South Congress for coffee and dinner, hit Lady Bird Lake's hike-and-bike trail, or take a dip at Little Stacy Pool. HEB, Zilker, South Lamar, I-35, and 290 are all minutes away.
