Rarely is an attractive property in this very quiet neighborhood near downtown Austin offered for sale. Rosedale is a haven of century-old live-oaks and local parks loved by young families, very walkable, with a lively local events group.
This is a 1940's era rock-walled cottage, modernized and enlarged with 2,836 SF of living and working space placed on a large 10,115 SF lot with a huge enclosed back yard. A studio/workshop with storage room and a built-in double garage fit the modern lifestyle. Westerly views from the back addition look out over a hillside towards spectacular sunsets.
Only blocks away from favorite Austin venues such as Fonda San Miguel, Upper Crust Bakery, Uchiko, and Central Market. Austin's main Hospital District is only two miles away, as is St. Andrew's Episcopal School. Shoal Creek Hike & Bike trail starts nearby and continues all the way into central Austin. Public transportation routes on Burnet Road are close.
The House has two living rooms and an Entry room, or front office, three Bedrooms (or one can be a perfect Home Office), two Baths, a Dining room and a Kitchen with black Silestone counter-tops. Together they have a total taxable floor area of 2166 SF. Downstairs is the Studio/Workshop with a large lockable Storage Room providing an additional area of 670 SF, accessible from the 450 SF garage, and opening to the back garden. The original full-height basement under the cottage is also accessible from the studio. There are independent front and back A/C units, one being a heat pump. This house is a great live-work space with the studio/workshop (438 SF) and a very large (232 SF) lockable storage room.
Outdoors there is a Front Porch, Front Garden & a Back Patio. Large trees include an ancient Live-Oak, two Cedar-Elms, and a Spanish Oak sheltering the house from the sun. The very large fenced back yard, ( ~4500 SF), makes this an especially private home.
