There’s something special about this home, the moment you walk in – it just feels right. Ideally situated on one of the most desirable streets in the historic, vibrant Travis Heights neighborhood, this beautifully appointed 1926 cottage blends timeless charm with modern elegance and standout curb appeal. A spacious covered front porch welcomes you from bustling South Congress into a light-filled interior with soaring ceilings, original pine floors and an inviting, well-designed layout with spaces that feel both open and intimate. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a bright eat-in kitchen featuring abundant storage and new quartz countertops. A breakfast nook and bar seating create an ideal gathering space – perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The home features three generous bedrooms and two beautifully updated bathrooms. Off the second bath, a light-filled laundry and mudroom offers functionality and purposeful storage. Step outside to an oversized backyard oasis, entirely reimagined in 2024. Fully enclosed by a custom 6-foot cedar privacy fence, multiple seating areas provide plentiful space to entertain, relax and enjoy effortless indoor-outdoor living. The detached studio, currently used as a home office, provides flexibility for a gym, creative space, and more. An expansive lot, complete with alley access, providing potential for future additions – think generous ADU and/or pool (buyer to verify). Located on a quiet, tree-lined street moments from South Congress, enjoy exceptional walkability to top restaurants, coffee shops, Big Stacy Park and Lady Bird Lake. Homes with this combination of location, charm and flexibility are rare—and don’t last long.
