Built in 1925

Step into this 1925 gem that’s ready for your creative vision—whether you choose to renovate, remodel, or start fresh. The charming front porch invites you into a spacious living room, flowing seamlessly into the dining room through classic French doors. The flexible layout offers endless potential for reimagining the space, from modernizing the interior to adding new rooms. One exciting idea could be moving the kitchen into the middle room and converting the current kitchen into a second bedroom, instantly transforming the home into a 2-bedroom residence. The spacious bedroom already features a walk-in closet, while the large bathroom serves the home’s functional needs. Outside, a modest back porch extends into a large yard, perfect for outdoor activities or future expansions. Zoned SF3 and sitting on a .114-acre lot, the property offers a rare opportunity to develop in one of Austin’s most sought-after locations. Imagine adding a barndominium with a 2-car garage and an ADU on top, creating the ultimate live-work space or rental opportunity. Whether you’re looking to refurbish this one-bedroom home, expand into a larger residence, or build multiple dwellings, the possibilities are endless. This prime piece of land, so close to downtown, offers a blank canvas for your vision—don’t miss out on the opportunity to make it your own!
