Description
Tucked into one of 78704's most sought-after pockets, modern living meets the easygoing, established character that makes this part of South Austin so special. Surrounded by mature trees and greenery, this two-story home feels surprisingly private while keeping some of Austin's best spots right outside your door. Part of a two-unit condo regime with no active HOA or monthly dues, it functions just like a single-family home. Thoughtfully designed, it feels much larger than its footprint suggests. Inside, expansive windows bring in natural light, and high ceilings keep the living spaces bright and open. The dreamy enclosed sunroom is one of the home's best features, adding another light-filled living space. The main house includes 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, Somfy motorized blinds, and a built-in bar perfect for coffee or cocktails. Just beyond the main house, a detached 1 bed/1 bath casita adds flexibility that's hard to find. With its own entrance, full bath, and closet, it's ideal for guests, working from home, or additional living space, while offering potential for an income-producing short-term rental. Outside, the fully fenced yard offers space to relax, entertain, or garden, plus a built-in dog door for added convenience. A private driveway and carport make coming and going a breeze. Well-loved and maintained by its original owners, the home has fresh interior paint and upgraded landscaping, with an in-ground irrigation system and heat-tolerant plants to keep things green and easy. Then there's the location. Walk, bike, or scoot to Austin favorites including Barton Springs, Zilker, Summer Moon Coffee, Show Me Pizza, Phoebe's Diner, and more, with multiple neighborhood parks nearby. South 1st, South Lamar, South Congress, St. Elmo, and the new H-E-B grocery are all close by, with Downtown and the airport just minutes away. Enjoy the best of the city, then come home to a quiet neighborhood that still feels distinctly like Austin.
