Discover a unique cottage that stands out amidst the sea of new construction, delivering a rare blend of charm and modernity. This chic cottage has been meticulously renovated, showcasing one-of-a-kind architectural features that captivate at every turn. With vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and authentic wood floors, the home exudes warmth and character.
Thoughtfully expanded and renovated starting in 2017, updates over the years include spray foam insulation, surround sound speakers, tankless water heater, HVAC, enhanced electrical and plumbing, and most recently, reimagined bathrooms and extensive landscape and hardscape designed with water conservation in mind. The storybook backyard is reminiscent of a secret garden with enchanting pathways, native plants, and majestic shade trees. Backing onto Boggy Creek, you'll feel miles away from your back neighbor as if you're in a private oasis within the desirable urban core.
Every detail has been curated with high-quality materials and textural elements, creating a harmonious, soft, neutral, yet intentional palette. The recently renovated bathrooms feature Cle tiles and Waterworks fixtures, while the spacious kitchen is anchored by an extensive island with seating, a Cle tile backsplash, and a wine/coffee bar. It seamlessly connects to the dining and living areas in either direction, allowing for easy flow.
The detached 193-square-foot studio, built in 2021, offers a versatile space with floor-to-ceiling windows, perfect for working, exercising, or creating art from home. A deep back porch spans the width of the house and is accessible from the den and primary suite via 12-foot sliding glass doors. It provides serene views of the garden and abundant living, dining, and cooking space.
Unit 2 is discreetly positioned to the side and tucked away towards the back of the lot, separated by an extra-tall privacy fence. The land's privacy and usability are unique for most condo regimes, creating future value adds. Functioning similarly to a single-family lot, Unit 1 has almost a quarter-acre of limited common elements and 62% of the remaining entitlements for development per the HOA documents. Expand, add a separate structure or pool, or do both. Buyer to verify.
Located in the peaceful and walkable Govalle neighborhood, the home is just steps from quintessential east side spots like Kinda Tropical, Austin Bouldering Project, Boggy Creek Farm, Flitch Coffee, Justine's, Central Machine Works, and De Nada Cantina.
