Rarely is an attractive property in this quiet neighborhood near downtown Austin offered for sale. Rosedale is a haven of century-old live-oaks and local parks much 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 an extra-large lot, (10,115 SF) with an enclosed back yard. There are westerly views from the dining and family rooms that look out over a hillside towards spectacular sunsets. ***Just this week a new and more efficient Carrier A/C system and furnace (with a transferable warranty) has been installed for the front of the house! (The old A/C worked flawlessly but not as efficient.) The new furnace has been installed in the attic and all the duct work is new. The HVAC for the rear of the house is a Lennox heat pump and is independent of the system for the front of the house. There is also a brand new electric water heater. ***Other updates done earlier include foundation repair and leveling with the engineers report and a transferable warranty. The metal roof has been refurbished and cleaned. The House has 2 Living rooms, a Family room, 3 Bedrooms (one can be a perfect Home Office), 2 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 garage (~450 SF), and opening to the back garden. The original ~1050 SF full-height basement under the cottage is also accessible from the studio. Outdoors there is a Front Porch, Front Garden, Back Patio, and an enclosed ~4500 SF Back Yard. Large trees include an ancient Live-Oak, two Cedar-Elms, a Spanish Oak, a Texas Buckeye and peach tree. Near Austin venues such as Fonda San Miguel, Burnet Road and Central Market. Don’t miss this exceptional offering.
