$899,000
2 Bed 1 Bath 1,332 sqft $675/sqft Built 1932 0.21 acres Pool Travis Heights

Classic 1932 Travis Heights bungalow set on a rare, level 9,000+ sq ft corner lot with mature trees and rear alley access. Fresh interior and exterior paint complements the home’s original character, while a covered front porch, custom arched front door, and thoughtfully designed landscaping create a welcoming first impression.

Inside, windows fill the home with natural light, while beautifully restored original hardwood floors carry through the living spaces. The living room centers around a fireplace with built-in bookshelves, and a separate formal dining room provides additional space for gathering and entertaining.

The updated kitchen blends seamlessly with the home’s traditional character while offering modern functionality, with stainless steel appliances, updated tile flooring and backsplash, recessed lighting, and generous pantry cabinetry. An enclosed former screen porch was incorporated into the kitchen area to create additional utility space with a washer and dryer and expanded pantry storage.

Two spacious bedrooms offer plenty of natural light, while the updated full bathroom was thoughtfully finished to remain in keeping with the period of the home. Updates include refreshed tile, a tub/shower, sink, toilet, recessed and vanity lighting, and a dedicated linen closet.

The outdoor spaces are equally inviting, with native, drought-tolerant plants, custom metal raised beds, gravel pathways with lighting, and a backyard fire pit create multiple areas to enjoy.

At $675/sqft, this home is priced 72% above the Austin active market average of $392/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →

Neighborhood Context

About Travis Heights

Travis Heights is the neighborhood that South Austin residents fight over. Perched on hilly terrain south of the river between South Congress and Congress Avenue, it combines the best of South Austin's character - eclectic homes, mature trees, creative energy - with genuine walkability to one of Austin's best commercial corridors.

The streets roll up and down in a way that's unusual for Austin, creating sightlines and privacy that flat neighborhoods can't offer. Homes here range from original craftsman bungalows and Victorian cottages to architecturally significant modern builds taking advantage of the topography.

🛍️
South Congress Access

Walking distance to the South Congress corridor - Austin's most eclectic commercial street, with restaurants, bars, boutiques, and the Continental Club.

🌳
Mature Tree Cover

Some of the best tree canopy in South Austin. The hilly terrain means homes have natural privacy from the street and each other.

🏊
Big Stacy Park

Neighborhood park with a spring-fed swimming pool, tennis courts, and playground - a true community asset that's a short walk for most residents.

🏘️
Neighborhood Character

Architecture ranges from 1910 craftsman bungalows to striking modern infill. The variety is part of the appeal - no two blocks look the same.
