1002 Shelley Avenue

"Located on one of the most iconic, tree-lined streets in Clarksville/Old West Austin, this beautifully preserved 1907 bungalow blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates—and a creative architectural touch. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath main house is filled with natural light thanks to an abundance of windows in every room. Longleaf Pine wood floors and exposed wood accents give the living spaces warmth and character, while the custom-updated kitchen and bath with Japanese soaking tub add comfort and convenience. Enjoy a slow morning on the front porch with a classic swing, or unwind in the sun-drenched rear sunroom. Fully insulated and surrounded by windows on three sides, the sunroom overlooks the lush, professionally landscaped backyard. This peaceful garden setting offers a rare privacy and quiet right in the heart of the city. Just beyond the garden, a detached garage built in 1951 houses a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment upstairs with painted interior and wood-covered, concrete floors—ideal as a guest suite, studio, or rental. One of the three garage bays below has been transformed into a serene library, perfect for work or retreat, and easily accessed from the garden. Additional features include blown-in insulation in walls and attic, an on-demand gas water heater, recent exterior paint on both structures, and alley access in back.
This is more than a rental—it’s a rare opportunity to live in a thoughtfully designed, light-filled home with historic soul and creative spaces, all nestled in one of Austin’s most beloved neighborhoods."
