History, character and the vibrancy of inner-loop living come together in this special 1920 Heights home. The 1,176-square-foot main house, along with a detached one-bedroom, approximately 450-square-foot garage apartment, offers a unique opportunity in the heart of the Heights. Set beneath a magnificent canopy of mature trees, the property has the kind of authentic charm that simply can’t be recreated. Original hardwood floors, soaring 10-foot ceilings, abundant natural light and an inviting front porch speak to the home’s century-old character, while the exceptionally large backyard offers endless possibilities. Ideally located just minutes from Downtown and the Heights’ celebrated dining, shopping and entertainment, and zoned to highly regarded Travis Elementary. A wonderful opportunity for someone with vision to restore and reimagine a true piece of Heights history. Located within the Heights Historic District. Estate sale; property is being sold AS-IS
