Escape to this enchanting Early Mid-Century Modern cottage, nestled among majestic heritage live oaks and lush fruit trees on a serene, large lot with no back neighbors. Built in 1942, this 2 bed/2 bath single-story retreat boasts high cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and a functional open layout. Recent updates include fresh paint, custom blinds, and herringbone LVP flooring, while thoughtful touches like a wallpaper accent in the laundry and bathroom add a touch of style. The kitchen is equipped with updated appliances and butcher block counters. A beverage fridge and bar area make entertaining a breeze. The living room features built-in bookshelves surrounding an electric fireplace, creating a cozy nook for relaxation. Practical touches like a mud closet for coats, shoes, and storage keep clutter at bay. Step outside to the peaceful backyard sanctuary, where a large deck and custom steel planters surround a cowboy pool perfect for summer dips or heated for cooler months. Custom ironworks trellises provide shade and privacy, while a moongate adds a touch of romance. Professionally designed landscaping featuring native, drought-tolerant, and pollinator plants, along with low-maintenance crushed granite, ensures a beautiful and sustainable outdoor space. The backyard studio/outbuilding with AC offers a versatile space for whatever your heart desires. The fully fenced front and backyard provide added security and peace of mind. Enjoy the front yard conversation area with custom fire pit and native sedge lawn. Convenience and lifestyle blend seamlessly in this desirable location. Just a 12-minute drive to DT Austin, you're close to the natural beauty of Barton Creek and Zilker, walking distance to Radio, End of an Ear, and Uncommon Objects, with easy access to 290 and nearby shops and restaurants. This Mid-Century Modern cottage is the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern functionality. Total square footage includes backyard studio.
