ABOUT

Charming Travis Heights Estate with Rich History

Welcome to 806 Rosedale Terrace, a unique gem nestled in the heart of Travis Heights, one of Austin's most desirable and evolving neighborhoods. Known to many as the Louis and Mathilde Reuter House, this historic limestone residence offers a rare glimpse into Austin's rich history. Built in the early 20th century by local entrepreneur Louis Reuter, who introduced the city's first self-service grocery store, the home embodies a perfect blend of Spanish Revival and Mission Revival architecture. Its unique U-shaped design showcases Reuter's innovative spirit, preserving the grand oak trees that stand sentinel on the property.

The interiors are as enchanting as its exterior, with a layout that seamlessly blends formal and informal living spaces. The main level is adorned with charming original Saltillo tiles, complemented by unique hand-painted mosaic tile accents and an original wooden carved fireplace mantel, a testament to the care and creativity of previous owners. The vaulted plaster ceilings add to the historic charm and craftsmanship, creating an ambiance that is both warm and inviting. The home features three bedrooms, including a primary suite that opens to a private rooftop patio, offering some of the most spectacular views of Austin's evolving skyline—a truly enviable vantage point for evening cocktails and al fresco dining.

Beyond its historic allure, the property offers endless possibilities for modern-day living. The current owners have collaborated with renowned architecture firm Clayton Little to design plans that would transform the property into a true compound, complete with a pool, pool house, and a new garage. Set on a sprawling .56-acre lot, the home is more than just a residence—it's a piece of Austin's history, offering a rare opportunity to own a property that is as significant today as it was nearly a century ago.
