1811 Alta Vista is a charming 1930’s historic brick home in Travis Heights with endless possibilities. Enjoy the 2/2 home and use the studio garage apartment as guest quarters or as a high-income producing rental. Or, if you desire a larger family home in this iconic neighborhood, save yourself several steps and cost in the remodeling process by using the architectural plans that have been developed for a thoughtful expansion–plans that have already been approved by the Historic Landmark Commission (Travis Heights is in the National Register of Historic Places) and for which a garage demolition permit is already in hand. The property is more than 9,000 square feet–a rare large lot for Travis Heights–and is perched on the hillside of lushly landscaped grounds with several majestic heritage Live Oak trees. You are steps from Blunn Creek Greenbelt and Stacy Park, and an easy stroll to South Congress or the hike and bike trail on Lady Bird Lake. All of the access and none of the weekend crowds walking or parking on your street. The main home is full of period charm and authentic personality. Classical columns flank the front door and once inside, you are greeted with 10’ ft high ceilings, oak hardwood floors, living room fireplace, library with French doors and built-in bookshelves, and formal dining room with windows and a charming built-in china cabinet. A screened-in back porch looks out onto the property’s showstopper: a spectacular stone-terraced secret garden full of flowering plants, trees, and vines with room for a small pool if you want to add. The treehouse-like studio apartment sits above a two-car garage with rear alley private access. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a very special property in a highly desirable downtown Austin neighborhood.
