About this home

Here’s your chance to snag a rare investment property in Austin’s iconic 78704. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of the city’s most walkable, bike-friendly pockets, this 1960s mid-century modern has been stylishly remodeled and comes with a fully licensed garage apartment—an incredible rental opportunity, guest space, or multi-gen setup. The main home keeps it single-level and easy, with an open kitchen, dining, and living area, three bedrooms, and two full baths. Modern updates bring the space to life: wood floors, Silestone counters, stainless appliances, recessed lighting, and big windows that let in plenty of light. The detached garage adds function with epoxy floors and a large storage closet. Above it, the garage apartment makes a serious impression. Designed as a studio-style efficiency, it includes a private bath, full kitchen, and its own deck with sleek horizontal railings. Whether you keep it as a rental, private retreat, or entertainment space, the options are endless, and the demand is real with events like SXSW and ACL just minutes away. The property itself offers balance, tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with a fully fenced yard for privacy and pets, yet surrounded by all the South Austin staples. Within a mile you’ll find South Congress, South Lamar, and South First, where dining at Loro, Uchi, Odd Duck, or grabbing groceries at HEB is all part of the daily routine. Barton Springs, Greenbelts, and bike trails are close enough to make weekends an adventure without leaving the neighborhood. Whether you live in one and rent the other, or hold both as your own private compound, this property delivers location, lifestyle, and investment value in Austin’s always, iconic zip code, 78704.
