1148 NORTHWESTERN AVENUE, AUSTIN, TX 78702

Historic Home with Exceptionally Low Taxes + Income Potential! The Sallie Johnson House is a designated historic landmark in Central East Austin, offering significant tax savings and timeless character. Taxes are approx $3,300, saving around $10k/year. Well-maintained by the owner, the main home is vacant and move-in ready. The detached ADU is leased month-to-month, creating an ideal setup for either an owner-occupant or investor. The renovation was featured on Apartment Therapy, and additional information on Sallie Johnson is available at the Austin History Center. Located at Northwestern & Rosewood Ave, this 1925 bungalow sits just steps from Austin favorites like Sam's BBQ, Whisler's, Rockstar Bagels, Eastside Pies, Hillside Farmacy, Quickie Pickie, Rosewood Park and Pool, and Boggy Creek Trails. The 957 sqft main home was tastefully remodeled in 2017 with a "Scandinavian farmhouse meets mid-century modern" aesthetic. The wall between the living and dining areas was removed to create a more open layout, complemented by recessed lighting throughout. The original pine shiplap was repurposed into shelving, and the hardwood floors were preserved. The private, light-filled primary bedroom sits at the rear of the home. The primary bathroom offers a double vanity and an oversized walk-in shower. The second bedroom includes two closets and a sliding door, while the third bedroom was previously used as an office. The 297 sqft ADU, added in 2017, includes an 88 sqft loft (fits a full or queen bed), a full kitchenette with gas range, and a walk-in shower. Both structures feature low-maintenance astro turf and perimeter fencing. The ADU has its own yard, private Rosewood access, and a small picket fence separating it from the main home. Shared meters. Previous survey, renovation selections, and floor plan available. Appointments required. Buyer/agent to verify all information.
