Property Description
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 and long-term tenants, the main home is now vacant and move-in ready! The ADU is leased through 3/31/25, making this an ideal Owner-Occupant or Investor opportunity. Plus, the Historic Exemption reduces property taxes to approx. $3,300 and saves you thousands annually. The renovation was featured on Apartment Therapy, and the 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.
