Tucked in the heart of Travis Heights just steps from South Congress, this modern farmhouse feels like a private retreat layered with color, texture, and thoughtful design. A white exterior with blue doors, metal rooflines, and warm wood accents sits behind a gated yard surrounded by lush landscaping, an expansive lawn, flourishing gardens, and a serene creek bed that creates a true urban oasis.

Inside, reclaimed Austin shiplap walls and 1800s farmhouse beams add warmth and character throughout. Hardwood floors run across the open living space, anchored by a corner fireplace, custom media cabinetry, and walls of windows framing peaceful backyard views.

The kitchen blends charm and high-end function with hand-laid tile flooring, an island crafted from an antique door, and a curated appliance suite including a Wolf induction cooktop, Thermador 6-burner gas range, Miele steam oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and drink drawers. Quartz countertops, a wood vent hood, and a classic farmhouse sink complete the space. Accordion windows open to outdoor bar seating, while a screened porch creates seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The primary suite features exposed beams, architectural molding, and glass doors overlooking the trees. The spa-like bath— inspired by Hotel Saint Cecilia— showcases bold wallpaper, black-and-white tile, a soaking tub, glass shower, and penny round tile floors.

Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms surround a large second living area. A Jack-and-Jill bath features blue star tile floors, quartz counters, and wood vanities, while another bedroom enjoys its own bath with printed tile and soaking tub.

A detached guest suite adds flexibility or potential rental income with a kitchenette, full bath, and upstairs bedroom suite.

Located directly across from Big Stacy Park and pool with easy access to the Blunn Creek Greenbelt and Lady Bird Lake, this home pairs tranquil creekside living with walkable Travis Heights energy.

At $812/sqft, this home is priced 108% above the Austin active market average of $391/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.
