Built in 1929

Nestled in the heart of Travis Heights, this quiet and charming 2-story bungalow has undergone a complete transformation, blending modern luxury with the timeless appeal of its original architecture. Renovated down to the studs in 2020, this meticulously updated home seamlessly marries historic character with contemporary comforts. The home's transformation was executed with precision, adding a second story and an 8-foot extension while preserving the essence of its 1929 origins. The renovation included a comprehensive list of updates, including a metal roof, hardiboard siding, solid wood doors, new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Original 1929 features such as the iconic doorbell and front door have been retained, alongside meticulous additions like custom molding, elegant crystal and brass doorknobs, and reclaimed wood flooring that seamlessly matches the original hardwood. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting Kitchen-Aid appliances, quartzite countertops, and a 12-foot island with seating for six.
