About this home

Looking for space and privacy just minutes from downtown? Come experience this charming, updated 1950s home situated on an expansive, level 0.29-acre lot. Inside, you’ll find beautifully maintained original hardwood floors throughout the main living and dining areas as well as the bedrooms, blending timeless character with modern comfort. Double-pane windows throughout the home provide energy efficiency while preserving the classic feel of this 1950s gem. The spacious, light-filled kitchen features large windows, stunning waterfall quartz countertops, and a stainless steel appliance package—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, step onto the recently added 20x12 covered and screened-in porch, which flows seamlessly to an additional 10x12 open deck built with beautiful, durable Cumaru hardwood decking. This inviting outdoor space is ideal for morning coffee, evening cocktails, dinner parties, and effortless indoor-outdoor gatherings. The backyard is thoughtfully landscaped with Black Basalt xeriscaping surrounding the deck, while still offering plenty of grassy space for kids and pets to play. An 8-foot cedar privacy fence creates a peaceful retreat with room to relax, garden, or entertain. The generous lot also offers excellent future potential, including space for a driveway on the east side of the property and room for an ADU (buyer to verify with the City). Major infrastructure updates include new roof in 2025, all water and sewer lines replaced to the street, offering peace of mind for years to come. Don’t miss this rare pier-and-beam home on an oversized lot, ideally located near Mueller, Downtown, the Airport, and all the restaurants, shops, and culture that make East Austin such a vibrant place to live.
