About This Home

Set along one of Austin’s most iconic streets, this charcoal-hued Travis Heights cottage captures the perfect balance of historic soul and modern design. The inviting front porch sets the scene, an ideal spot for morning coffee while neighbors wander toward the nearby trail. Inside, the single story layout is warm, intimate, and filled with natural light. Original hardwood floors and 1930s architectural details ground the home in character, while curated updates bring it effortlessly into the present. The living room makes a bold statement with a dramatic tile feature wall and floating media console, creating a refined focal point. The open kitchen is both functional and striking, anchored by a waterfall island with bar seating. Custom cabinetry, floating shelves, and rich espresso toned cabinets add depth and texture. Tucked into the corner, a charming dining nook with a green velvet banquette overlooks the pool, cozy and thoughtfully designed. Two spacious secondary bedrooms share a well appointed bath, while the powder room stands out with saturated green tile, a skylight overhead, and a sculptural floating sink. Privately positioned, the primary suite feels like its own retreat. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and an office nook add dimension, while two sliding doors open directly to a secluded patio and the pool. The ensuite bath features a soaking tub, glass enclosed shower, and sleek vanity for a spa inspired experience. The pool serves as the visual centerpiece of the home, framed by multiple outdoor living spaces including a covered patio and separate screened porch, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. Just moments from Big Stacy Pool, the hike and bike trail, and the energy of South Congress, this fully furnished residence offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the charm and lifestyle of Travis Heights in a turnkey setting.
