Originally constructed in 1925, this delightful bungalow was moved from its original location on the lot, rebuilt, and beautifully redesigned in 2016. Sited in the heart of one of East Austin’s most walkable neighborhoods, this home features an expansive covered front porch that inspires relaxing afternoons with a book or evening cocktails with friends. A mix of original, classic details and modern living elements, including hickory wood floors, exposed shiplap accent wall and a study highlighted by a built-in desk that was repurposed from the solid wood sub-floor of the original home. The cottage aesthetic highlights its historic eastside charm, and recent improvements alleviate old-house maintenance pain points (foundation, plumbing, electrical, roof, HVAC, tankless water heater, bathroom and kitchen finishes were all newly installed in 2016). Large windows invite an abundance of natural light to pour through making the home feel larger than the square footage indicates. You’ll love the private, wrap-around backyard that has an English garden feel full of roses, native plants and an open air patio. With a walk score of 73, access from the house is a breeze to nearby amenities like Sour Duck, Juiceland, Bennu Coffee, a food truck park and more. Not to mention the many public transportation options that are minutes away. Enjoy a light footprint in a very central part of town, with everything you need close-by.
