There are places that feel found rather than bought, corners of the world that seem to open just for you. Jardin Riverside is such a place. Nestled behind an ivy-cloaked wall in storied Travis Heights, this 1940s bungalow and its companion casita seem to bloom from the earth itself, like a long-kept secret finally ready to be shared. // Pull open the private gate and you are welcomed by a hidden garden—where stone paths meander through foliage and flowers, where layered limestone terraces add drama, and where fountains murmur and birds sing in the trees. A heated, black-bottom pool shines in the courtyard like a mirror to the sky, inviting rest and reverie. // The main cottage, with its two bedrooms and two baths, holds time gently. Warm hardwood floors, sun-dappled nooks, and vintage details whisper stories of the past. Yet modern comforts—an updated kitchen, casement windows that open to the courtyard, and the intentional and thoughtful design throughout—make it perfectly suited for today’s rituals. // Just across a crisp paver path, the guest cottage waits, a one-bedroom, one-bath studio with a separate entrance, kitchenette, garden terrace, and private outdoor seating area. Built in 2019, it offers solitude or kinship as needed, ideal for artists, guests, or quiet mornings with tea and thought. // The entire property is enclosed for privacy, its trees casting lace-like shadows on the ground. Three off-street parking spaces, irrigation, a keyless entry lock, and curated exterior lighting make everyday life feel effortless. And just beyond the garden wall, the world awaits: Lady Bird Lake, South Congress, downtown…all a gentle stroll away. // Across the street, a dog park rests beneath the oaks, a quiet promise of future joy. // Jardin Riverside is a world within a world, a rare bloom in the heart of old Austin. // Available "turn key" with furnishings.

Directions:

**IMPORTANT - Must access via alley since you can't park on Riverside Drive. Listing agent will provide map when coordinating showing.** From I-35: Exit at Riverside Drive and head west. Cross the bridge where the lake shimmers below. Just past the rhythm of downtown’s edge, you’ll find 1005 — quietly tucked along the road like a story waiting to be read. From Mopac: Exit at Riverside Drive and travel east. The city slips by in glimpses of green and stone. When the river draws near again, look closely — 1005 awaits, hidden in plain sight.
