About This Home
Located on one of the most iconic, tree-lined streets in Clarksville/Old West Austin, this beautifully preserved 1907 bungalow blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates—and a creative architectural touch. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath main house is filled with natural light thanks to an abundance of windows in every room. Longleaf Pine wood floors and exposed wood accents give the living spaces warmth and character, while the custom-updated kitchen and bath with Japanese soaking tub add comfort and convenience. Enjoy a slow morning on the front porch with a classic swing, or unwind in the sun-drenched rear sunroom. Fully insulated and surrounded by windows on three sides, the sunroom overlooks the lush, professionally landscaped backyard. This peaceful garden setting offers a rare privacy and quiet right in the heart of the city. Just beyond the garden, a detached garage built in 1951 houses a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment upstairs with painted interior and wood-covered, concrete floors—ideal as a guest suite, studio, or rental. One of the three garage bays below has been transformed into a serene library, perfect for work or retreat, and easily accessed from the garden. Additional features include blown-in insulation in walls and attic, an on-demand gas water heater, recent exterior paint on both structures, and alley access in back. This is more than a rental—it’s a rare opportunity to live in a thoughtfully designed, light-filled home with historic soul and creative spaces, all nestled in one of Austin’s most beloved neighborhoods.
1002 Shelley Ave is a house located in Travis County and the 78703 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Austin Independent attendance zone.

The much-loved Clarksville neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of the oldest freedman’s towns in Texas, established by Charles Clark in 1871. Landmarks in the neighborhood include the Sweet Home Baptist Church, built around 1880, and the Hezikiah Haskell House, built around 1879. The neighborhood contains historic Victorians converted into bed-and-breakfasts, trendy shops, and popular restaurants. Be sure to visit Josephine House, Caffe Medici, Z’Tejas, and Clark’s Oyster Bar. After hours, you’ll find residents at the Mean Eyed Cat honky-tonk or at Donn’s Depot piano bar.
Clarksville’s proximity to Downtown Austin, its location on the river, and the beauty of the neighborhood’s historic architecture and tree-lined streets continues to increase the neighborhood’s popularity. Clarksville begins along the west side of downtown, extending from Lamar Boulevard west to the MoPac Expressway.
