1704 E 38th St

Tucked away behind a lush landscape of native plants and mature trees, 1704 East 38th Street is a rare treasure in the heart of Cherrywood. This 1947 build underwent a stunning transformation in 2016 with a two-story addition by award-winning architect Murray Legge that delivers a unique blend of distinct Old Austin with a modern and practical touch. As you cross the front threshold from an unassuming entrance, you're greeted by a remarkably well-appointed space, filled with light from oversized windows and high ceilings. The home features a cozy front sitting area that sets a relaxed tone, an open kitchen highlighted with custom cabinets by Executive Cabinetry, and a massive back living room with two sets of glass sliding doors that lead to separate custom built backyard patios -- dine al fresco on one, and lounge by a fire-pit on the other. With a diversity of backyard spaces, you'll long to spend your evenings outdoors among the home's xeriscaped and sustainably designed landscaping. Back inside, you'll find 2 bedrooms and a flex space on the main floor, the latter of which can double as a 4th bedroom, a home office, a playroom, an artist studio... just tailor it to your lifestyle! Upstairs you'll find the primary wing that exudes a tree-house vibe, with an ensuite featuring Palazzo tile floors and natural stone countertops and a spacious walk-in closet. And then there's the location — literally minutes from Mueller, UT campus, Dell Children’s, downtown, and beloved Cherrywood favorites like Cherrywood Coffeehouse and El Chilito. With a Walk Score of 92, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the city, all while coming home to a quiet, tree-lined street that still captures the essence of Old Austin. This isn't just a home... it's a vibe, a lifestyle, and a chance to live in something truly special. New roof (2024) with a 12,342 kWh capacity solar system.
