Property Description

In the heart of Travis Heights, this 1947 property offers something increasingly rare—a large, tree-filled lot with downtown skyline views, just moments from South Congress and Big Stacy Park. Set beneath a canopy of mature trees, the home blends original character with a later addition, creating nearly 2,000 square feet to reimagine, restore, or replace entirely. Whether you're drawn to preserving its vintage charm or capitalizing on the lot for new construction, the opportunity here is undeniable. The setting is what truly sets this property apart—walk to Travis Heights Elementary, stroll to neighborhood parks, or head minutes into downtown Austin. Properties with this combination of location, lot, and views are becoming harder to find, especially in one of Austin’s most established neighborhoods. For investors, builders, or buyers with vision, this is a chance to secure a premier piece of Travis Heights and shape what comes next.
