Welcome to a home with history, character, and endless possibilities, situated on Alta Vista, one of the most coveted streets in the highly desirable Travis Heights neighborhood! This unique property has evolved over time, starting as a single-family home and transforming into a duplex with an artist’s studio, then a triplex, while still retaining the charm and potential for a creative reimagining. The home has many possibilities, as a 5 bedroom with a studio plus office. The rentals have been financially rewarding. You'll enjoy easy access to freeways and the vibrant energy of a walkable neighborhood. Stroll to South Congress for its eclectic dining, shopping, live music and entertainment. Enjoy Little Stacy Park and Big Stacy Pool, just blocks from your doorstep. Living here means being surrounded by an active, creative community.

Its current configuration as a triplex provides opportunities for multi-unit income, or it could easily be transformed back into a duplex or a spacious single-family residence. The third unit is a bedroom/bathroom without a kitchen. The property also includes a detached studio and a second studio or storage space, perfect for an artist, movement teacher, or anyone seeking a dedicated workspace. These additional spaces are filled with potential, overlooking a backyard oasis complete with a majestic oak tree, a cob-built Mexican horno oven for outdoor cooking, and multiple seating areas. The front yard has a year-round vegetable garden, making this property a dream for gardening enthusiasts. Alta Vista is not just a street—it’s a lifestyle.
