Description

Tucked onto a quiet, tree-lined street in Highland Park, this single-story Central Austin home delivers the kind of location, lot, and livability that rarely come together at once. Originally built in 1949 and fully renovated to the studs and expanded to 3,048 square feet in 2007, this home strikes a rare balance between original character and modern function across 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a flat 1/3-acre lot. Inside, the open kitchen, dining, and living areas flow generously into one another, anchored by warm hardwood floors and exceptional natural light. The kitchen and dining space feature 100+ year old reclaimed wood beam ceiling alongside original doorknobs, repurposed triple-hung windows in the family room, and other thoughtful nods to the home’s history. The oversized primary suite is a rare find with two walk-in closets, custom built-ins, dual vanities, and a large glass-enclosed shower. The mudroom/laundry room serves as the everyday entrance, offering the drop zone a busy household needs. The lot is fully fenced with mature trees, spacious deck and patio areas, and multiple grassy spaces. A backyard storage structure with electricity offers potential for a future studio, office, or workshop. The neighborhood and location are as much a selling point as the house itself. Perry Park is a short walk away, Highland Park Elementary is four houses down, and a walkable lineup of local favorites – Crenshaw’s, Russell’s, Yamas, Chez Zee, Mount Bonnell, and The Grove – round out the daily convenience. Quick access to Mopac keeps the rest of the city within easy reach, and downtown is under 10 minutes.
