About 1305 Ruth Ave

Towering front yard oak trees shade this updated Brentwood retreat set on a rare ¼-acre lot in the heart of Midtown Austin. A thoughtfully designed remodel that quickly unfolds and offers more than meets the eye with an intelligent layout and elevated style throughout. Soaring floor to ceiling corner window fill the living area and primary suite with natural light, while wood floors add warmth and flow throughout the home. Tucked privately at the rear of the home, the vaulted owner’s suite offers a quiet retreat with concrete floors, abundant light, and separation from the well appointed front guest bedrooms. The remodeled kitchen blends seamlessly with the living and dining areas, and includes panel-ready appliances, a waterfall center island, and popup vent ~ the clean-lined cabinetry offers a crisp, modern look. The owners appreciate the bar top seating and views out to the front yard. Step outside to a park like backyard with a recently designed sitting area sure to be a popular gathering spot ~ stone lueders and black star gravel creates the perfect spot to relax or entertain. The spacious lot offers a range of possibilities for future expansion, gardening, or potential for additional structures. Additional features include a single-car garage and a prime location just a short stroll to Brentwood Elementary, the park, and favorites like Bird Bird Biscuit, The Little Deli and Pizzeria, and The Violet Crown.
