This wonderful, traditional Craftsman home is exquisitely perched on a tree-filled lot in the coveted Travis Heights neighborhood. Alta Vista is one of the best streets in this historic area, and this location is easily walkable to Stacy Park and all of S Congress; yet tucked away just a few blocks from all the hustle and bustle. The home is very well-built and has been impeccably maintained through the years. You are greeted by a wonderful front porch overlooking the tree-lined street, and I can't think of a better spot for morning coffee or happy hour margaritas. Once inside you will find an open foyer with cathedral ceilings all the way up to the second story. The downstairs living room is very comfortable with a cozy fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and French doors that directly access the front porch space. Flanked on the other side of the living room, you will find a formal dining space with similar doors flowing to the front porch. The gourmet kitchen boasts a large center island, high ceilings, a nice-sized pantry, and yet another set of doors that lead to the covered back porch. Downstairs you will also find the primary bedroom, as well as an oversized utility room, and half bath. Once you ascend the beautiful staircase, you are greeted by a comfortable living room that is floating in the tree tops. The upstairs has another full 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to round out this great floor plan. The private backyard is a tranquil setting with century-old live oak trees, an oversized limestone patio, and the perfect setting for dinner parties and Austin-style entertaining. A real bonus feature to this property is the separate, detached 1-car garages that are located and accessed off of the rear alley. This property is the perfect combination of newer high-quality construction, that is perfectly set in one of Austin's most popular neighborhoods with some of the best walkability you will find in town.
