About this home
Welcome to 3503 Carla Dr., a pristine 1964 time capsule and custom-built home that embodies the nostalgic charm of a bygone era! This rare creekfront property is a retro chic haven for buyers seeking a vintage 1960s home with unparalleled character. Unlike cookie-cutter remodels, this single-story rambler showcases Americana ranch house architecture with exquisite 100% mahogany paneling, custom cabinets, and original details that shine—pristine light fixtures, vibrant vintage bathrooms, and a working 1960s cooktop and oven. Spanning 1,811 sq ft, the home features three bedrooms, two and a half baths, large walk-in closets, a family room, and a formal living room in front that could work as an office. The cozy eat-in kitchen, trimmed with warm mahogany paneling and plantation shutters, adds to the throwback charm. The garage is also paneled and has a half bath, offering extra convenience and storage.
Situated on a park-like 0.73-acre lot, this property is a lush, shaded oasis with eight massive pecan trees, including two closest to the home that produce 500–600 lbs of pecans annually. The sprawling backyard, cooled by mature trees and thriving ferns, overlooks the serene Ferguson Branch of Walnut Creek—a perfect spot for catching crawdads and frogs. While a small corner of the lot touches a floodplain, it’s far from the home and doesn’t impact the property. Enjoy tranquil views from the covered back patio on this quiet street, where the creek and greenery create a peaceful retreat in the middle of the city. This is a special property for a buyer who cherishes vintage charm and timeless style. Don’t miss the chance to own this exceptional piece of Austin’s history!
