Description

Welcome to this beautifully maintained home in the sought-after Travis Heights–Fairview Historic District. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends classic 1914 character with thoughtful modern updates. Nestled under heritage oaks along quiet, tree-lined streets the home offers 1,318 square feet of living space with two living areas, a detached garage, a workshop, and a greenhouse—all with electricity.
Just three blocks from vibrant South Congress Avenue also known as SoCo, you’re steps away from Austin’s best in dining, shopping, live music, and art. Known for its eclectic vibe, SoCo features everything from vintage boutiques and quirky murals to upscale eateries and iconic local landmarks. The district is known for its eclectic mix of boutiques, vintage & local owned stores, art galleries, restaurants, cafés, food trucks, and live music venues.
It embodies a fusion of historic Austin with old motels, neon signs, quirky signage with modern upscale touches including designer shops and trendy dining
SoCo is very pedestrian friendly, especially the main stretch of South Congress Avenue, making it easy to wander, shop, eat, and people watch. The “Keep Austin Weird” spirit is very much alive.
With a Walk Score among the city’s highest, it’s easy to stroll to downtown Austin or access the scenic Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail. All this just 10 minutes from Austin–Bergstrom International Airport.
Recent renovations include a full kitchen remodel (2019), new HVAC (2019), updated pier-and-beam foundation (2019), new roof (2019), and a water heater (2018), landscaping 2009, sidewalk 2009, improvements to garage and workshop 2017, offering peace of mind and modern comfort.
