About this home

Big opportunities rarely come with a Cherry Creek address at this price. Set on a generous 0.22-acre lot backing to a wet weather creek, this South Austin original has the kind of bones buyers chase and the kind of location that makes every improvement count. Whether you're planning a thoughtful flip or creating a home tailored to your own style, the upside here is undeniable. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, wood floors, an open living and dining area, and a dramatic stone fireplace create a spacious foundation ready for a fresh modern vision. The kitchen's wraparound peninsula, exposed beam, and adjacent breakfast area offer plenty of room to reimagine the heart of the home. The primary suite already has the right footprint complete with on oversized ensuite bathroom that is just waiting for a stylish refresh plus dual primary closets. Sliding doors off the kitchen open to a private screened side porch that comes with incredible potential, while a little TLC is all that's standing between the back deck and your favorite place to spend an evening. The fenced backyard feels like a hidden woodland escape, where towering oaks, lush greenbelt views, and a gently terraced landscape cascading toward the wet weather creek create a remarkably private setting ready to become your dream outdoor retreat. Cherry Creek remains one of South Austin's most beloved neighborhoods, where the city's old soul still shines. Walk or bike to a working farm with horses and longhorns, Stephenson Nature Preserve, or a night at Lala's South Pole. H-E-B, Sprouts, Central Market, Southpark Meadows, S. Menchaca's entertainment scene, Arbor Trails, and Sunset Valley are all just minutes away, with Downtown only 15 minutes from home. If you've been waiting for the right house in the right neighborhood to make your own, this is one you'll want to experience in person.
