FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET in over 60 years! Charming, Craftsman style 1913 bungalow on a huge corner/double lot in popular Travis Heights, where you're steps from parks, trails, restaurants and retail! You'll be captivated by the "Swiss Family Robinson Tree" in the front yard and the personal touches by the Mather family, both architects, who loved and cared for the home since the early 60s. Inside you'll be greeted by high ceilings, warm wood tones and charm. This is truly a unicorn, with huge potential to add your own touches. There is a garage apartment over the two car detached garage, plus a double carport with overhead storage space, and another detached carport on the north side of the house. So much potential waiting for a lucky buyer to unlock on this almost a third acre corner lot in 78704! And for all you history buffs, the Mather House was once featured in the 1988 Austin Home Tour. Also, in 1976, in honor of the nation's bicentennial, the City of Austin created an Oak Tree Registry. Included was the live oak in the front yard of 1611 Alameda, chosen under the criteria of trees being "exceptionally old, tall, large in diameter, well-shaped, rare, historically significant or otherwise unique." There will be no doubt when you visit the property why both the tree and home were selected! The tree is stunning, and the home is magnificent beyond words. New survey in the works. Don't wait too long on this one--historical properties like these in highly sought after Travis Heights are a rare find!
