Welcome to 1609 Chatham Ave, a delightful mid-century home located in the heart of Austin's thriving 78723 zip code. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property perfectly blends classic charm with modern updates, offering a solid foundation for your dream home vision. Many of the projects that accompany many Windsor Park homes have already been completed. The foundation was expertly repaired with bell bottom drilled-piers and comes with a warranty for your peace of mind. This method of foundation support/correction allows for the ability to add a second story if desired. All cast iron drain lines were replaced in 2020, brand-new roofing shingles were installed in November 2024 with transferable 25 year warranty, and newly installed zero-seam deck in the private fenced yard. Rare for the area, the home boasts a 2-car garage, a spacious driveway accommodating up to 6 cars, and an electric car charger. There are so many features to enjoy, but the beauty of original oak hardwood floors throughout (except in wet areas) really steal the show, and it's worth mentioning the charming mid-modern hallway bathroom complete with a working gas wall heater for those chilly mornings. The sellers had plans to remodel the kitchen and primary bathroom as their next project but decided to pass the torch, giving you the opportunity to bring your creative vision to life and truly make this home your own. The kitchen/primary bath remodel was going to be a joint project as they share walls and space from the other side of the kitchen sink was going to be used to create a more modern-sized primary bath. A natural gas stub out for gas range already exists. Situated in a lively, sought-after Windsor Park neighborhood with easy access to local dining, shopping, the home is convenient to the currently under-construction $50+ Million Harris Elementary School, and parks. 1609 Chatham Ave is a rare find that combines character, practicality, and potential.
