Set along a quiet, one-block stretch in the Mary Street Historic District, 502 E Mary St is a beautifully preserved 1930 Tudor Revival cottage that blends timeless character with thoughtful, modern enhancements. Located in the heart of Travis Heights, this home offers an authentic Austin lifestyle just moments from the city’s most iconic destinations.

The 902-square-foot main residence features 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, highlighted by original longleaf pine floors, abundant natural light, and classic double-hung windows that reflect the home’s historic roots. Recent updates include full interior and exterior painting, creating a fresh, cohesive feel while honoring the home’s original charm. The dine-in kitchen has been tastefully updated over time, offering both functionality and warmth.

Beyond the main home, a detached 491-square-foot guest house provides exceptional flexibility. Complete with a full bath, kitchenette, and storage, it’s ideal for guests, a private workspace, or potential rental income.

The outdoor spaces have been significantly enhanced with professionally designed landscaping that incorporates both hardscape and softscape elements. New perimeter fencing adds privacy and definition, while an in-ground sprinkler system supports lush, low-maintenance greenery. Towering Live Oaks frame both the front and backyard, casting a natural canopy over the property, while a spacious deck and open lawn create an inviting setting for entertaining or relaxing.

Situated within a protected historic district, the surrounding streetscape maintains its quiet charm and enduring appeal. All just minutes from South Congress, Stacy Park, Blunn Creek Greenbelt and some of Austin’s best restaurants, shops, and entertainment—502 E Mary St offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated historic home in one of Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods.
