Designer-led renovation meets midcentury charm in this South Austin jewel.
Looking for a home with luxury design and classic South Austin charm without a million-dollar price tag? Look no further. This home is not your average remodel. Every inch has been professionally designed and stunningly upgraded. Foundation, plumbing, electrical, siding, insulation, garage, floors, doors, fireplace, bathrooms, and kitchen, all of this 1,487-square-foot South Austin jewel has been meticulously updated with the highest attention to detail. Thoughtfully imagined by Austin-based designer Benjamin Stelly, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom abode is perfect for those looking for a fully renovated, move-in ready home that retains its midcentury charm.
Design details begin while you’re still outside, which includes a grand new entry, new windows, new siding, new garage door, all new landscaping, and fresh paint. A custom-made black steel front door opens into an expansive living space, featuring new white oak wood floors from locally owned Stuga Studio and centered around a custom charcoal lime-wash fireplace flanked by custom wood built-in cabinets. White shiplap walls — a design theme throughout the space — are offset by new lighting features, including art lights to create special moments for your favorite photographs or canvas.
A complete remodel (and added square footage!) has transformed the kitchen into a modern chef’s dream with an enviable amount of counter space perfect for prepping or entertaining! A brand-new, 90-inch island is accented with a waterfall edge of premium Silver Honed Granite and houses a 30-inch deep stainless sink with Brizo faucet. The custom European-style royal oak cabinetry was designed to show no vent hood and to offer an ample amount of drawer storage with soft closes. Plus, there are new, top-of-the-line Frigidaire appliances with a built-in microwave, 5-burner cooktop, 30-inch oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Other noteworthy kitchen features include: under cabinet lighting, a pantry with automatic lights (crucial for late-night snacks or last-minute school lunches) and pocket doors to maximize space.
The bathrooms are absolute showstoppers, with blue stone marble floors, floating royal oak cabinets with motion-sensored lighting underneath and Silver Granite counters. The primary suite bathroom features a maple brown wood-like porcelain tile that not only creates a soothing spa-like experience, but is also heaven on your feet inside the frameless shower with dual rainfall and handheld chrome faucets. The double vanity with custom lighting and Nantucket porcelain sinks are the final touches to this perfectly appointed bathroom. The guest bathroom features a 60-inch acrylic drop-in bathtub with custom penny round tile and three cut-outs with lights — perfect for housing all your products.
Each of the three bedroom’s floor plans were redesigned to maximize privacy and closet space. Spray foam insulation between each bedroom ensures privacy, while the custom light fixtures, fans, shiplap, and flooring thread Stelly’s thoughtful design through each room. And you can manage all your interiors through a new Honeywell WiFi thermostat, which can be controlled through your phone.
Incredible attention to detail extends to the exterior, which you can access through brand-new sliding doors. Watch the Longhorns? on your covered patio, or play a pickup game of your own expansive backyard, which includes a sprinkler system spanning 72 heads and 10 zones across the front and back. And if a pool is on your future wishlist, this backyard offers plenty of space to build one, along with mature trees to offer shade and character.
Along with being a design-lover’s dream, 5907 Mojave is located just south of Stassney in the desirable Oasis Village neighborhood. A five-minute drive to St. David’s South, 10 minutes to South Congress and South First attractions, 15 minutes to Austin-Bergstrom airport, and just two blocks to the new Leroy & Lewis Barbecue, named one of the best barbecue joints in Texas!
