Property Overview

This 1932 classical revival residence on Jarratt Avenue represents the best of Pemberton Heights' architectural heritage, where original moldings, hardwood floors, and period details anchor a home that refuses to feel dated. Sitting on nearly a quarter-acre in one of Austin, TX's most established neighborhoods, the four-bedroom, four-bath residence spans 3,704 square feet across two stories, with an additional 600-square-foot basement offering flexibility for studio, recreation, or storage space. The current ownership has honored the home's nearly century-old bones while introducing refined, layered interiors that balance historic character with contemporary comfort, creating spaces that feel both collected and lived-in rather than meticulously preserved.

The floor plan delivers multiple gathering areas including two distinct living rooms, allowing the home to function for both intimate entertaining and daily family living. Original architectural elements pair thoughtfully with updated systems and fresh finishes, while the generous lot provides privacy and mature landscaping along one of Pemberton Heights' quietest, tree-canopied streets. This is the kind of property that rewards those seeking depth and authenticity in a neighborhood where every corner of Austin has history.
