Blue House on the Hill

1110 Travis Heights Boulevard

This one is special. Treetop views and potential downtown views from the hilltops of Travis Heights Boulevard offer a unique opportunity for your creative vision. Situated on a generous 75-foot-wide lot and a half, with a flat front and side yard, this charming bungalow stands proudly with timeless appeal and inviting character. There's potential for expansion, especially with a second-story addition to fully capitalize on the skyline views, as evidenced by the neighboring home.

Having stood the test of time and been well cared for throughout the years, the current owners have made thoughtful updates during their stewardship, including adding a central air system and Carrier heat pump, replacing the windows, adding copper plumbing water lines, and electrical improvements, to name a few. The modernized kitchen blends convenience with the home's vintage charm. The property’s elevated position provides a unique perspective of the surrounding nature, reminiscent of a treehouse setting. Enjoy tranquil mornings in the breakfast nook, perfect for birdwatching and enjoying privacy from neighbors.

Additional elements include covered parking and a lower-level workshop with potential for conversion, allowing for further customization. This rare gem is sold as-is, offering a canvas for future updates, restoration, or new beginnings.

Seize the opportunity to own a piece of history and explore the endless possibilities to make it yours.

Welcome to South Central Austin

Enticing mix of verdant green space and a Keep Austin weird vibe

South Central Austin combines some of Austin’s greenest neighborhoods with an abundance of hip shopping, dining, and live music spots. The area immediately south of the Colorado River is best-known for the sprawling outdoor space of Zilker Park and the hike and bike trail at Lady Bird Lake. South Central Austin neighborhoods enjoy access to these and numerous other parks and green spaces.

Zilker is an attractive neighborhood offering easy access to parks and outdoor recreation spots in addition to some of South Central’s coolest restaurants, bars, theaters, and live music venues. To Zilker’s west, Barton Hills runs along either side of the greenbelt surrounding Barton Creek, extending from Barton Creek Wilderness Park in the southwest to Zilker Park in the northeast.

The sought-after community of Travis Heights to the southeast of Zilker and Bouldin is known for the eclectic architectural styles of its historic and contemporary homes. Travis Heights’ real estate includes renovated 1920s properties and luxurious modern custom-builds.

Great restaurants, cool bars, and performance venues abound throughout South Central Austin. Restaurants and entertainment spots are mostly concentrated along Barton Springs Road and the connected streets of South Lamar Boulevard and South Congress Avenue, which run through Zilker and Travis Heights, respectively. On Barton Springs Road, Terry Black’s BBQ offers mouthwatering pit-fired meats, and Shady Grove serves delicious Tex-Mex with live music and pecan tree-shaded patio dining. El Alma’s creative cocktails and Mexican dishes can be enjoyed on a rooftop deck looking out over the Colorado River to the Austin skyline.

Zilker Park on the Colorado River’s south bank is Austin’s largest green space, covering 350 acres. Amenities and attractions here include sports fields, picnic areas, Barton Springs’ pool, and Zilker Botanical Garden. Zilker Park also hosts the Austin City Limits Music Festival, a major annual event in October featuring some of the biggest names in music. The 10-mile Lady Bird Lake bike and hiking trail begins to the south of Zilker Park and follows the path of the river.
