Description

Welcome to a rare find in Central Austin: a 1940s home completely reimagined from the ground up, offering true turnkey living with exceptional upside. The foundation was fully replaced with new piers, beams, and blocks, backed by a transferable warranty. A new roof features Malarkey Legacy Class 4 impact-rated shingles, hand-nailed for durability. Electrical was fully rebuilt with a new panel, whole-house rewire, GFCI protection on every circuit, and new smoke alarms. Plumbing was modernized with upgraded water lines and drain lines replaced to code. All-new HVAC ductwork, freshly re-insulated attic, and Level 5 drywall and paint finish throughout, including the garage. Both bathrooms are renovated, one with a premium Japanese bidet toilet, and the attached garage houses a custom sauna retreat with an Auroom Baia glass sauna and HUUM heater. Outside, enjoy a new deck with built-in firepit table, new privacy fencing with two gates, a dedicated parking pad and alley-access apron, and a completely reworked yard with bamboo removed and fresh sod and soil throughout. Big Chill oven and refrigerator included. The 10,237 SF lot, well above the norm for this part of Central Austin, offers real upside for the next owner: room for a substantial addition, second story, ADU for rental income, or full redevelopment, subject to buyer's own due diligence on zoning and feasibility. Buyers also have the freedom to make the home their own with future cosmetic remodeling, all on a foundation that's already been fully addressed. Located in the historic Hancock pocket just south of Hyde Park, this home offers the same tree-lined, walkable charm the area is known for. UT Austin is roughly a mile away, downtown under three miles, and the shops and restaurants of Hyde Park, North Loop, the Triangle, and Central Market are all minutes away, with easy access to the Domain and Q2 Stadium for Austin FC matches.
