Welcome to 806 Rosedale Terrace, a historic estate nestled in the heart of Travis Heights—one of Austin’s oldest and most desirable neighborhoods. The Louis and Mathilde Reuter House, built in 1934, is a designated historic landmark on the National, State, and City of Austin registries. This estate offers a rare glimpse into the city’s past while providing an inspiring canvas for modern-day living. Constructed by Louis Reuter, a local entrepreneur who opened Austin’s first self-service grocery store (Piggly-Wiggly), the home blends Spanish and Mission Revival architecture. Its unique U-shape honors the site’s mature live oaks and captures sweeping skyline views. Inside, original period details shine—oak flooring in the living room, antique Spanish mosaic tile in the dining room, and clay tile from UT’s Old Main in the solarium, all centered around a carved wood fireplace mantel. Vaulted plaster ceilings add warmth and charm. The home features three bedrooms, including a primary suite that opens to a private rooftop patio with dramatic skyline views—ideal for cocktails, al fresco dining, or quiet afternoons in the sun. While preserving its rich history, the estate offers forward-looking potential. The current owners have partnered with a renowned architectural firm to design plans for a future compound—complete with a pool, guest quarters, pool house, expansive gardens, and garage. Set on .56 acres, this residence is more than a home—it’s a piece of Austin’s legacy. Owning the Reuter House is a rare opportunity to live in a place that’s as visionary today as it was nearly a century ago.
