Property Description
Charming Zilker cottage has been meticulously updated for comfort, livability and sustainability. Refinished, original red oak floors under bead-board ceilings flow throughout the living-dining area, kitchen and bedrooms offering a sense of space that belies the small footprint. The open living area features a pair of large windows overlooking a beautiful live oak tree and shaded seating area surrounded by native flowering plants. The galley kitchen boasts custom maple cabinetry, a full suite of stainless appliances and quartz counters. The renovations included the addition of a utility room off the kitchen adding laundry facilities and a functional pantry/mudroom to the house. The primary bedroom at the rear of the house offers solitude and is adjacent to an updated bathroom. A secondary bedroom, primarily used as an office space, has a Murphy bed for guests. Further renovations included the standing seam metal roof and eaves as well as spray foam insulation under the home and in the attic, substantially increasing the home's energy efficiency and comfort while creating useful climate controlled storage. The backyard has extensive amenities for the gardening enthusiast including an array of raised garden beds, poultry coop, garden shed and garage and is replete with mature plantings and fruiting trees. The oversized HVAC unit combined with the large backyard offer possibilities for expansion. Plans exist for a workshop and upstairs apartment in the northeast corner of the property and the SF-3 zoning enables up to three dwelling units. This section of Oxford Avenue is prized for its quiet (no through traffic). The home is minutes from the coveted Zilker Elementary School, Barton Springs Pool, pickle ball courts at Little Zilker Park and a multitude of dining and entertainment options. This beloved, unique home in a highly sought-after location offers a rare opportunity to own a turn-key property with character, ease and enormous potential for the future.
