Originally built in 1939, this charming bungalow was recently redesigned to preserve its historic character and add a modern twist, undergoing a high-quality down-to-studs remodel/addition in 2018. The front elevation maintains its classic detailing with a beautiful, restored entry portico and half glass entry door. The living room has the original brick fireplace – now decorative – and vintage casework providing warmth and character. The core of the home is comprised of the dining room, kitchen, and a family room with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall that brings the exterior deck courtyard inside. The chef’s kitchen boasts an oversized island with Silestone countertops and backsplash, a high-end Jenn Air appliance package, and full custom cabinetry with built-in pantries. Skylights above bring in additional daylight to create a bright, cheery, and well-balanced space.

Bedrooms are separated into two “wings” of the home: one wing for the primary suite (new addition) and the other wing for the two additional bedrooms (original bungalow). Each room is generous in size with ample space for a queen or king bed, and great daylighting with their southern exposures. Two full baths are both custom designed and showcase timeless tiles from Ann Sacks and Clay Imports. 

Unique materials and architectural design were incorporated throughout, offering a level of quality and sophistication that are difficult to find:  Multiple skylights, 2” and 4” recessed downlights, custom ship-lap siding, reclaimed siding from original house, white oak floors throughout, designer plumbing & light fixtures, high-quality Benjamin Moore paint, and many other finishing touches to create a luxury home that feels comfortable and casual.

Located on a superb street in Travis Heights, it’s hard to find a better balance of quintessential Austin neighborhood, unique architectural design, move-in ready condition, and walking distance to SoCo amenities. 1914 Newning Ave is a special one-of-a-kind home not to be missed!
