Overview
Description
Set on one of the most desirable blocks in historic Travis Heights, this property offers a rare combination of tranquility and proximity to the best that Austin has to offer. A twelve-minute walk to the restaurants and shops of SoCo or to the hike-and-bike trail along Lady Bird Lake, 1704 Travis Heights Blvd. is minutes from everything, a world away from all of it. The house consists of the original 1937 cottage in front and a back two-story addition constructed in 2013.
The original cottage was taken down to the studs in 2013, with all new systems including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. The entire house underwent an extensive remodeling in 2026, featuring an expanded kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a custom-built Venetian plaster stove hood, JennAir appliances, a 45-bottle dual-zone wine fridge, and designer lighting. The 2026 remodel preserves the historic integrity of the home, such as exposing the original shiplap, while seamlessly incorporating luxurious contemporary finishes throughout.
The exterior features a large upstairs terrace with downtown views, a garage with alley access, a full-sized lot shaded by mature heritage pecan trees and ancient crepe myrtles, and a fence constructed in 2026.
