About this home
Full of vintage charm and old Austin character, this adorable 1935 white stucco cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to renovate, expand, or enjoy as-is in the heart of the Hancock neighborhood. Set on a quiet street, the home features lucky green shamrock shutters, original architectural details, and hardwood floors throughout. The traditional floorplan includes a spacious open living and dining area, two bedrooms, a full bath with eclectic 1930s green tile, and a wonderful screened-in back porch. Outside, a fenced, tree-shaded backyard with rear alley access provides privacy, while a detached garage with workshop space and a large two-car carport add valuable flexibility. Set in a highly walkable neighborhood just blocks from the University of Texas, Lee Elementary, Hancock Golf Course, and HEB, this delightful cottage blends vintage appeal, everyday convenience, and classic Austin charm.
