Property Overview

This 1960 home on Side Drive in Austin, TX has undergone a comprehensive restoration that transforms classic bones into contemporary living. Natural light floods throughout the 1,993-square-foot residence via skylights and expansive sliding glass doors, creating bright, airy spaces perfect for modern entertaining. The four-bedroom, three-bath layout includes two ensuite configurations, with the primary suite featuring a spa-like bathroom that feels like a private retreat. A recent gut renovation addressed plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and roofing systems, ensuring this home is built to last another generation.

The open living areas flow seamlessly to the outdoors through generous glass transitions, where a mature crepe myrtle anchors the backyard and creates natural shade across the 8,677-square-foot lot. This mature tree defines the outdoor living experience, offering the kind of established character and privacy that new construction rarely delivers. The thoughtful restoration honors the home's mid-century character while delivering the updated infrastructure today's buyers expect.
