Property Description

Location. Legacy. Livability. Welcome to 1903 West Ave, Austin, TX 78731—a rare opportunity to own a charming home in the heart of Central Austin real estate. This beautifully preserved 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence radiates natural light, character, and warmth, blending modern comfort with a rich artistic past. Once believed to be home to world-renowned guitar maker Bill Collings, whose instruments were played by legends like Rick Gordon, Lyle Lovett, Pete Townshend, Joni Mitchell, and Brian May, this home offers a truly unique piece of Austin's creative history. Inside, original hardwood floors, custom window treatments, and built-ins bring timeless style and functionality. The open kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring custom cabinetry, stainless steel countertops, and ample storage—all overlooking a private backyard shaded by mature trees. Abundant windows keep the home light and bright, while the primary bedroom includes extra built-ins for convenience. A standalone shed with electricity provides flexible space for hobbies, storage, or future potential. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a front Ipe deck and a low-maintenance composite back deck—perfect for morning coffee, weekend gatherings, or simply waving to neighbors. The location is unbeatable. Just steps from the new pedestrian bridge, The Grove's restaurants and shopping, and minutes from Downtown Austin, Central Market, Tiny Boxwoods, and local boutiques, you'll enjoy the best of city living right at your doorstep. Nature lovers will appreciate easy access to Shoal Creek Trail, Greg Hill Pocket Park, The Grove Signature Park, Lady Bird Lake, and the Barton Creek Greenbelt—perfect for biking, jogging, or peaceful walks. With impervious coverage preserved, there's also room to expand if desired. This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle. A well-loved Austin residence with a rich story, ready to welcome its next chapter. Ask about our lender credit!
