Property Description

Two homes, one lot, one of Austin's most enduring addresses. Two fully independent homes on a single 0.288-acre lot in Oakmont Heights, situated within the Bryker Woods, O. Henry, and Austin High School feeder pattern. The main residence is a single-story 1947 ranch-style home with 1,708 square feet (per TCAD), three bedrooms, two full baths, and HardiPlank exterior construction. Recently refinished original hardwood floors run throughout. A covered rear porch opens to a wood-fenced backyard of notable depth, uncommon for the area, and a rare find at this price point in Central Austin.

The main residence has been thoughtfully maintained. Updates completed approximately 13 years ago include new windows, doors, and renovated bathrooms and kitchen. The roof was replaced five years ago, offering a buyer meaningful capital improvements already in place.

The second home — a detached, fully independent 500-square-foot (per TCAD) residence with one bedroom, one bath, and a kitchen — sits at the rear of the lot with its own entrance and alley access. An oversized garage with workshop space completes the alley-accessed structures. Both homes have a demonstrated rental history.

The configuration supports a range of uses: lease both homes for dual income, occupy the main residence and lease the second, or use the detached structure as a mother-in-law suite, caregiver residence, home office, or art studio. Few properties at this address offer this degree of flexibility.

The location adds further depth. The Grove, with its restaurants and retail, is minutes away. Central Market, Ascension Seton Medical Center, and MoPac are all within easy reach, and the walkable surroundings place everyday conveniences within a short distance of the front door.

The lot's scale, the dual income-producing structures, and the address make this a substantive holding in one of Central Austin's most consistently sought neighborhoods.
