1005 E Riverside DR, Austin TX 78704, Austin, TX 78704
About this property
[2/2 Main House + 1/1 Casita] There are places that feel found, corners of the world that seem to open just for you. “Jardin Riverside” is such a place. Nestled behind an ivy-cloaked wall in storied Travis Heights, this 1940s bungalow and its companion casita are situated within a secluded, calming, park-like landscape. //
Pull open the private gate and you are welcomed by a hidden garden—where stone paths meander through foliage and flowers, where layered limestone terraces add drama, and where fountains murmur and birds sing in the trees. A heated, black-bottom pool shines in the courtyard like a mirror to the sky. //
The main cottage, with its two bedrooms and two baths, holds time gently. Warm hardwood floors, sun-dappled nooks, and vintage details whisper stories of the past. Yet modern comforts—an updated kitchen, casement windows that open to the courtyard, with quality-of-life details throughout—make it perfectly suited for today’s rituals. //
A crisp paver path invites you towards the guest cottage: a one-bedroom, one-bath studio with a separate entrance, kitchenette, garden terrace, and private outdoor seating area. Built in 2019, it offers solitude or kinship as needed, ideal for artists, guests, or quiet mornings with tea and thought. //
The entire property is enclosed for privacy. Up to three off-street parking spaces, irrigation, a keyless entry lock, and curated exterior lighting make everyday life feel effortless. Across the street, a dog park invites community beneath the oaks. And just beyond the garden wall, the world awaits: Lady Bird Lake, SoCo, downtown Austin… all a stroll away.
