Property Description
Perched above the canopy in desirable Travis Heights, the Louis & Mathilde Reuter House (1934) connects Austin's history with its future. This rare Spanish/Mission Revival home, oriented around mature heritage oaks, offers sweeping skyline and City Lights views from multiple vantage points, including the upstairs terrace, where sunsets become a nightly celebration. Inside, traditional craftsmanship defines each room: oak plank flooring, an antique Spanish mosaic in the dining area, clay tile reclaimed from UT's Old Main in the solarium, and a carved wood mantel beneath softly vaulted plaster ceilings. The main level includes a bedroom suite; upstairs, a bedroom with an attached office/reading room captures downtown views, while the private rooftop/upper terrace extends living into the sky. Set on over half an acre, the estate also features a separate guest house and spacious gardens. Carefully maintained and ready for the future, the property conveys with architectural plans for a full compound with a pool, guest quarters, pool house, gardens, and garage, allowing a new owner to elevate an already iconic property.
