Ideal for entertaining, guests can mingle in the living room and dining area or sit at the counter while you put the finishing touches on the meal from the adjoining kitchen.   Elegant tile backsplash and Caesarstone countertops provide a soothing backdrop for meal prep.  A mix of open and closed cabinetry provides a beautiful space to showcase stemware, china, or treasured objects, as does the built-in bookshelf.  The sputnik-style dining room chandelier and sleek vent hood add a modern touch to the space.

The sleeping areas are located on the back side of the home for maximum privacy.  Two secondary bedrooms are located off the main hallway, one of which includes built-in storage and a window seat beneath wrap-around windows.  A cedar-lined storage closet provides a buffer between the two rooms.

The hall bathroom includes period-perfect details like beadboard paneling, a pedestal sink, and retro floor tile.  Don’t miss the other charming 1940s details like the china cabinet in the hall with wood scrollwork, the gorgeous honey-colored wood floors, or the original glass doorknobs.  Traditional crown molding accentuates each room.  Even the original diamond-shaped vents in the foundation of the home add character. 

The owner’s bedroom is separate from the other rooms on the back of the house.  This light and bright space includes a completely remodeled in-suite bathroom with shower, vanity, and on-trend white subway tile.

With access from the living room, master bedroom, and kitchen, the large backyard is an essential part of this home’s experience.   With a gracious magnolia tree in the backyard and stone patio, you’ll have beautiful blooms to adorn your dining table and an idyllic spot for al fresco happy hours with your friends.  

Your privacy is assured with gated entry to the backyard and a wooden privacy fence.  The home also includes a two-car carport with an attached storage room.  A sprinkler system in the front yard makes it easy to keep up with the Joneses.  

An extensive renovation in 2013 brings this home into the modern era.   No details were left out during the meticulous remodel.  There are new wood windows, a flash water heater, refinished wood floors, new electric, new closet shelving, and more.  The washer and dryer are discreetly behind closed doors in the hall. 

Located in the heart of Central Austin, this home’s close proximity to Mopac and 35th Street make it easy to navigate to other parts of the city within minutes.

They say every house has a personality, and this one feels like an old friend that welcomes you to leave your worries at the door and relax in the comfort and safety of its walls.  This charming, one story home is real gem in one of Central Austin’s most refined neighborhoods. 

This home is offered for sale for $850,000 -- that's significantly under the TCAD value.  Learn more or arrange a private showing by contacting Paul Reddam at 512-789-0869 or [email protected].
