Price slashed $90,0000 for quick sale. Open 1-3 Sunday Feb 2ndThis “diamond in the rough” belies the 1940’s icharm and condition inside. With a new exterior coat of paint, this fixer upper awaits your simple updates in the highly desirable Old Enfield neighborhood among Austin’s finest estates. A peaceful tree-shaded walking enclave with easy access to Mopac a short walk to from Pease Park and downtown just beyond. This light and well designed home is one of the last fixer uppers (versus tear downs) allowing a savvy buyer to sneak into Old Enfield well under $1m, all in. An opportunity that may be the last of its kind in this price point. And that's not all. With the owner willing to financing 3-5 years, at 3.5%, this 'sleeper' may just have your name on it. If the neighborhood was good enough for former Mayor Bruce Todd, and our current mayor, Kirk Watson, to live, it will be for you, too. Don't judge a book by its cover.
