Built in 1963 and extensively renovated in 2019, this home’s modernized cottage-style design hits the sweet spot combining classic charm with contemporary updates — perfectly aligned with the vibe of South Congress. From the moment you arrive, the steep gable roof and vibrant, drought-tolerant landscaping make a bold first impression. Enter into the living room to find vaulted ceilings, a cozy built-in window seat with storage, and oversized picture windows. Walk through the dining area and into the dreamy kitchen – decked out with quartz countertops, open shelving, stainless appliances, and a showstopping marble backsplash. Massive slider doors open to a generous back patio with serene Blunn Creek views. The backyard feels very private since it backs to a green space – could be the perfect candidate for adding a plunge pool or hot tub. The primary suite on the main level, tucked behind the kitchen, features a spa-worthy bathroom with stylish black Saltillo tile, a double vanity, and walk-in closet. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share a full bath, while a chic powder room downstairs offers convenience for visitors. All this in the peaceful Sherwood Oaks neighborhood of South Austin, which has a similar proximity to South Congress as Travis Heights, without the pricing and noise. If you’re looking for an urban setting within walking distance to unbeatable SoCo favorites, the new H-E-B, Curra’s, Big & Little Stacy parks, and lots more, but want to come home to a quiet setting, don’t miss this one! 3-D Matterport tour link included below.
