This vintage craftsman bungalow is located in one of Central Austin's most historic and charming neighborhoods. Build in 1925, the house is situated on the top of a hill west of downtown, and close to hike and bike trails along the lake. On a quiet, peaceful block, it's just down the street from the vibrant West Lynn shopping and eating district.
Interior has abundant natural light, original long leaf pine floors, and other appealing historical features. A major restoration in 2007 included a complete renovation of the bathroom and kitchen, and all-new electrical and plumbing systems. Under current city guidelines, house can be expanded to 2300 sq. ft. Front and back yards are xeriscaped, with granite, river rock, limestone, and colorful plants, bushes and bamboo.
