Welcome to the iconic Sallie Johnson House, a historic landmark (exceptionally low tax rate) in Central East Austin at Northwestern & Rosewood Ave- just steps from Sam’s BBQ, Whistlers, Rockstar Bagels, Eastside Pies, Hillside Farmacy, Quickie Pickie, Rosewood Park/Pool, and Boggy Creek Trails. This 957 sqft 1925 bungalow was tastefully remodeled in 2017 with “Scandinavian farmhouse meets mid-century modern” inspiration. The wall between the Living/Dining Room was removed, and recessed lighting was added throughout to create a more cohesive flow. The original pine shiplap was repurposed into living room shelves and the original hardwood floors remain. The light-filled Primary Bedroom sits at the back for privacy and has a reach-in closet. The Primary Bathroom, located adjacent to the Primary Bedroom, features an oversized walk-in shower and double vanity. The second Bedroom has two reach-in closets and a space-saving sliding door. The third Bedroom was previously used as an Office and features a sliding door to the Living Room (no traditional closet). A 297 sqft ADU, added in 2017, has an 88 sqft Loft (large enough for a full/queen bed), walk-in shower, and full kitchenette with a gas range. Both homes feature low-maintenance astro turf and a perimeter fence. The ADU has its own yard, private access from Rosewood, and is separated from the main home by a small picket fence. ADU interior photos are from 9/24. Well-maintained by the Owner/long-term tenants, the main home is move-in ready; ADU is leased through 3/31/25, making this an ideal Owner-Occupant/Investor opportunity. Plus, the Historic Exemption reduces property taxes to approx. $3,300 and saves upwards of $10k annually. The renovation was featured on Apartment Therapy; Austin History Center has more on Sallie Johnson (links available). Shared meters. Previous survey, renovation selections, and floor plan on file. Appointments Required. Buyer/Agent to verify all info.
