Property Description

Location. Legacy. Livability. Discover a rare opportunity to own a beautiful home in the heart of Central Austin at 1903 West Ave, Austin, TX 78731. This charming 2 bed, 1 bath residence is filled with natural light, warmth, and character—offering a unique blend of artistic history and everyday livability. Believed to have once been home to legendary guitar maker Bill Collings—whose instruments were played by Rick Gordon, Lyle Lovett, Pete Townshend, Joni Mitchell, and Brian May—this property is a treasured piece of Austin's creative legacy. Inside, original wood floors, custom window treatments, and built-ins offer style and function throughout. The open kitchen features custom cabinetry, stainless steel countertops, and ample storage, overlooking a peaceful backyard shaded by mature trees. Abundant windows bring the outdoors in and keep it light and bright all day. The primary bedroom includes additional built-ins, and a standalone shed with electricity offers flexible space for tools, hobbies, or future potential. Enjoy the front Ipe deck and composite back deck—perfect for morning coffee or waving to neighbors. Located just moments from The Grove's restaurants, shopping, and amenities—and steps from the new pedestrian bridge—plus just minutes from Tiny Boxwoods, Central Market, local boutiques, major highways, and Downtown Austin, this location puts everything within reach. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to the Shoal Creek greenbelt and trail system, Greg Hill Pocket Park, and The Grove Signature Park—ideal for jogging, biking, or peaceful walks. Lady Bird Lake and Barton Creek Greenbelt are also nearby. This home is ideally situated for those seeking the best of Central Austin living. With the impervious coverage thoughtfully preserved, there's room to grow should you choose. This is a well-loved Austin home with a rich story—ready to welcome its next chapter.
