About this home

Tucked into one of Central Austin’s most coveted, ultra-walkable neighborhoods, this fully renovated bungalow + detached casita delivers the kind of design-forward living you been holding out for in North Loop. Just moments from Home Slice Pizza, Foreign & Domestic, DrinkWell, beloved coffee shops, neighborhood bars, and a scenic stroll down Avenue G into Hyde Park, the location is pure Austin magic.

Inside, the light-filled main house blends clean contemporary updates with warm, inviting character. Wide-plank wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, tall ceilings, and crisp neutral tones create an airy open-concept living and dining space anchored by a stunning designer kitchen. Featuring quartz countertops, ceiling-height Shaker cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, sleek hardware, stainless appliances, and a chic backsplash elevate the space, while a backyard-facing window and French doors pour in natural light.

The beautifully renovated bath feels boutique-inspired with designer tile, curated fixtures, a contemporary vanity, and elevated finishes throughout. Both bedrooms are bright and spacious with oversized upgraded double-hung windows, modern closet doors, and updated ceiling fans.
Out back, the detached studio casita unlocks exceptional flexibility. Fully updated with its own kitchenette, island, quartz counters, full bath, and upgraded mini-split climate control, it’s ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a private creative studio, luxe work-from-home setup, or income-producing rental potential.

Beyond the cosmetic transformation, major improvements include upgraded multi-pane windows in the main house, newer rain gutters, and a roof replacement with upgraded shingles completed in late 2023. Set on a generous lot with rear alley access, this is a rare move-in-ready opportunity blending thoughtful renovations, versatility, and unbeatable Central Austin energy. Don’t miss out – come tour today!
