About this home

Vintage Cool South Austin Charmer! This 3 bedroom home with two full and one half baths is perched on an elevated site that's shaded by massive live oak trees on over a quarter of an acre of classic 78704. Close to restaurants, shopping, parks and trails, you'll find a pride of ownership that speaks to relaxed living in a casual setting. There's plenty of space with two living areas on the main level and a study or nursery connected to the primary bedroom. The foyer leads to a sunny living room opening onto a covered patio custom made for sunsets and your morning coffee.
