Property Overview

This 1932 Pemberton Heights estate on Jarratt Avenue represents a rare convergence of Austin's architectural heritage and contemporary sophistication. Set back from the street on a generously proportioned 9,600-square-foot lot, the home anchors itself with original period character—leaded glass windows, substantial crown molding, and architectural details that speak to early twentieth-century craftsmanship. The current owners have preserved these elements while introducing a thoughtful interior refresh that allows the home to live comfortably for today, with layered transitional design that respects rather than erases its past.

The 3,704-square-foot layout unfolds with remarkable flexibility across four bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus an additional sitting room and secondary living spaces that accommodate both family living and entertaining. Sunlit rooms flow naturally, while an insulated 600-square-foot basement provides year-round climate control for storage or creative pursuits. The property's mature landscaping and tree-lined setting create a peaceful retreat within steps of Pemberton Heights' most desirable corridor.

At $3.65 million, this represents a distinctly authentic alternative to newer construction in one of Austin's most established neighborhoods, where authentic 1930s character homes command premium positioning.
