Property Overview

This 1937 Travis Heights bungalow has been meticulously restored to honor its historic bones while delivering the refined modern comforts today's buyers expect. The comprehensive renovation strikes an elegant balance—original shiplap details and refinished hardwoods anchor the character, while a showstopping chef's kitchen steals the show with custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, JennAir appliances, wine refrigeration, and a striking Venetian plaster hood. The living room fireplace has been thoughtfully reimagined with designer finishes that complement rather than overwhelm the home's timeless appeal.

Situated on nearly a third of an acre in the heart of Travis Heights, this 2,583-square-foot residence places you steps from South Congress Avenue's eclectic dining and retail scene, with downtown skyline views and Lady Bird Lake access within easy reach. The neighborhood's walkable character and collection of preserved historic homes create a rare pocket of authenticity in central Austin. Both updated bathrooms feature designer fixtures and premium finishes, while the overall design reflects restraint and quality—no corners cut, no trends chased.
