Experience Austin's First Strawbale Addition Home Nestled in the heart of Travis Heights, 904 East Monroe stands as a pioneering example of sustainable architecture. Originally constructed as a garage apartment, this unique residence underwent significant expansion in the 1950s, transforming into a charming two-story dwelling. Notably, in 1998, a groundbreaking addition was made using innovative straw construction techniques, marking it as Austin's first strawbale addition home. This unique home boasts a blend of timeless design and eco-conscious features. Throughout the interior, meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail. Locally harvested bamboo accents adorn the space, while hand-carved niches and intricate etchings on windows add character and charm. The interior exudes warmth and sophistication, with hand-made doors, bannisters, and closets showcasing the artisanal craftsmanship. Recent renovations have further enhanced the home's appeal, with updates including a new dishwasher & new stove, updated hand-made maple countertops and a glass backsplash. The master bedroom has been expanded to create a luxurious retreat, complete with an updated ensuite bathroom that was completed in 2017. Not only does this home offer exceptional comfort and style, but it also prioritizes sustainability. The exterior is enveloped in hand-mixed stucco, providing durability and energy efficiency. With an R-factor of 30 to 35, the home boasts superior insulation, resulting in lower utility bills compared to traditional homes. Additionally, toxin-free milk-based paint and sustainable materials create a healthy living environment, perfect for those with chemical sensitivities. Outside, a tranquil oasis awaits, featuring lush landscaping with abundant passion flowers and majestic live oak trees providing shade and beauty. Two upstairs porches offer a peaceful retreat, ideal for enjoying the serene surroundings.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
