Rare opportunity on a private 8,500+ sq ft corner lot in the heart of East Austin. Two houses, endless flexibility. The primary house is 1,496 sq ft, a 2-story built in 2011 with the soul of something much older: cedar shake siding, tall ceilings, big windows, and a fireplace wrapped in terracotta tile. Concrete floors run through the downstairs. An open kitchen with Carrara marble counters, custom cabinetry, and a large eat-in island. Perfectly proportioned dining space, powder room, pantry, and dedicated laundry on the ground floor. Upstairs, the owner's suite gets gorgeous natural light plus a private bath and walk-in closet, alongside two guest bedrooms sharing a hall bath. The attic is massive, with potential to finish out (buyer to confirm feasibility). Next door, an original 1930s white bungalow with a front porch built for sitting. Currently one bed, one bath at 736 sq ft, easily set up to add a kitchen or kitchenette. Current owners use it as a TV lounge, guest suite, and office. Outside: fully fenced yard, expansive decking, low-maintenance lush gardens and ornamental trees, automatic irrigation, a cedar soaking tub, and a custom chicken coop, all tucked into a lot that feels private despite being minutes from East Austin's best spots (steps from Veracruz tacos and Desnudo Coffee), Springdale General, downtown, and UT. Recent August 2026 updates include all new HVAC and ducting, new water heater, interior paint, new roof, and refinished concrete floors. Two homes. One lot. Incredible East Austin location. A rare setup that doesn't come around often.
