A rare offering in one of Austin's most established enclaves, this meticulously renovated 3-story residence spans just over 2,500 square feet, with 3 bedrooms and a level of finish that speaks to quiet, considered craftsmanship throughout. The private rooftop terrace is the home's defining feature—an unobstructed view of the downtown skyline, framed by the kind of Central Texas sunsets that make this city worth staying in for. The terrace is plumbed with a gas line, ready for a grill or fireplace, extending the living space outdoors in a way that suits Austin's climate and its culture of easy, open-air gathering. Set within the Travis Heights school boundaries, the gated community offers 24-hour surveillance, a private one-car garage, and two additional covered spaces—an uncommon convenience this close to the urban core. At the center of the grounds stands a protected heritage oak, its canopy anchoring the property with the kind of shade and stillness rarely found this near downtown. From here, South Congress, Lady Bird Lake, and the Hike-and-Bike Trail are minutes away, along with the city's better restaurants, coffee shops, and live music rooms. It is, in short, a well-placed foothold in a city that rewards exactly that.
