Property Overview

This Mission Ridge home captures the essence of Travis Heights character while delivering thoughtful modern updates that feel lived-in rather than sterile. Nestled beneath mature Texas oaks on a tree-lined street, the 1,665-square-foot residence opens to a sun-drenched living room that immediately reveals its renovation quality. The kitchen blends vintage charm with current functionality, anchoring a floor plan that includes a flex space and garage conversion offering remarkable versatility. Upstairs, the primary suite becomes the showstopper: a generous room with skylights, custom wallpaper, a sitting area, and a private balcony framing peek-a-boo views of downtown Austin's skyline.

Beyond the main living spaces, two light-filled guest bedrooms and the updated primary bathroom complete the upper floor. The converted garage stands out as a smart multipurpose asset, equipped with a refrigerator and storage with dual access to both the home and backyard, making it ideal for a home office, creative studio, or recreation area. At just over a quarter-acre in one of Austin TX's most walkable neighborhoods, residents enjoy proximity to South Congress Avenue's shops and restaurants while maintaining that coveted residential calm. The price point of $536 per square foot positions this property significantly below area median, offering genuine value in a neighborhood defined by historic bungalows and Lady Bird Lake proximity.

Vox Residential Insight

This represents exceptional value in a neighborhood where comparable properties typically command 30% more per square foot, making it an intelligent acquisition for buyers seeking authentic Travis Heights character without the premium positioning of recently flipped homes. The garage conversion alone provides flexibility that appeals to today's lifestyle demands, whether for remote work, hobbies, or guest accommodations.

Agent Description

Tucked into a picturesque street and canopied by gorgeous Texas oaks, this 3-bed/2-bath home + flex space delivers the kind of character you expect in Travis Heights. At 1,665 sq ft on .102 acres, it lives large with design-forward updates that feel whimsical and intentional. The whole home strikes that rare balance: vintage and charming, but genuinely renovated. Step inside from the front porch into a bright, welcoming living room where natural light pours in. The modern kitchen is full of fun design moments, think personality, not a showroom, complete with pantry and laundry. Upstairs, two light-filled guest rooms share an updated bath. The primary suite is a showstopper, a huge room with a dedicated sitting area, skylights, custom wallpaper, an updated bathroom and closet, and a private balcony with peek-a-boo downtown Austin views. The garage conversion is a huge feature: fridge, storage, and dual access that opens directly to the backyard, perfect as a home office, game room, gym, creative studio, potential fourth bedroom or just use it as a garage. Out back, a large deck for al fresco dining, custom bench seating, a heated and chilled cowboy pool, smart exterior lighting and views of the twinkling downtown city lights make this one of the best entertaining yards on the street. More than 100k of improvements in 2024: flooring, drywall, custom wallpaper, appliances, fixtures, bathrooms, the garage flex space, upstairs balcony, landscaping, pool, and sprinklers. HVAC with UV filter updated in 2019. Google Fiber in place. Can STR with a license. Fridge, washer, and dryer all convey. Downstairs closet has half-bath potential. Technically an A/B condo with one shared wall, this home lives like a single-family with a no-fee HOA and a two-owner association. Walk to South Congress for coffee and dinner, hit Lady Bird Lake's hike-and-bike trail, or take a dip at Little Stacy Pool. HEB, Zilker, South Lamar, I-35, and 290 are all minutes away.
