The Soul of Old Austin and the Excitement of a Vibrant City

Inhabit the soul of both old and new Austin in this charming 1927 Craftsman bungalow. Restored by a former Louisiana resident with ties to South Carolina, the home exudes southern charm while enjoying modern amenities. Located in the prestigious Fairview Park section of Travis Heights, you will be surrounded by heritage trees and graceful homes, while also being steps away from Music Lane and the SoCo entertainment district. Strolling out on to your wide, welcoming front porch, you will pass under the massive heritage oak tree shading the lawn on your way to pizza at Home Slice, a drink at the San Jose Hotel or shopping along South Congress. On weekend mornings you could walk less than half a mile to Little Stacy Park, or a few steps further to Big Stacy Park and Pool. Downtown Austin, East Austin and Lady Bird Lake are just moments away, making this one of the most convenient neighborhoods in the city.

Southern Grace with Modern Conveniences

The lovingly restored home echoes the grace of the French Quarter, starting at the antique front door ushering you inside. Eleven-foot coffered ceilings are frosted with intricate layers of molding, furthering the old-South feel. Original windows have been meticulously restored, as has the southern pine floor. The spacious living room is warmed by a brick fireplace. A wide doorway looks from the living room, through the chandelier-lit dining room to the kitchen, providing a sense of openness not often felt in vintage homes. Recently updated but in perfect harmony with the age of the home, the kitchen features soapstone countertops, a wood bar top, gourmet appliances and abundant storage. The primary suite has windows that look out to a treetop view and enjoys a custom-outfitted walk-in closet. The en-suite bath is extraordinary; encased in marble you will begin the day in ultimate luxury whether you choose a soak in the jetted tub or enjoy a sumptuous shower. Two additional bedrooms share a charming bath with period details; one bedroom also features a striking original fireplace. Throughout you’ll find lovely period details combined with thoughtful storage and smart, modern touches, including a Generac whole house generator.

Lush Outdoor Living and Bonus Space

The garage has been converted to a large, air-conditioned studio that serves as a guest room, dedicated office or gym. The charming space is accented with solid wood rafters sourced from the Carolinas with freshly painted bead boarded walls. An attached potting shed could be converted to a bath to add functionality and currently provides flexible storage with endless possibilities for usage. Follow the bluestone path to an ultra-private Zen Garden with a lovely stone patio surrounded by lavender-filled planters and a rose bush grown from the cutting of a famous musician’s garden. Spend evenings soaking up the southern ambiance under the shade of rustling trees listening to the trickle of water from the custom fountain. The double-walled eight-foot fence offers privacy and noise protection, adding to the serene environment. This home is truly one-of-a-kind, perfect for those who appreciate the past, present and future of Austin.
