1801, 1709, 1713, and 1717 Lightsey Road present a unique chance to acquire four contiguous lots in one of Austin’s most dynamic and sought-after neighborhoods. Existing structures are being sold as-is in their present condition and are currently in a partially deconstructed state. The true value lies in the land, presenting a prime opportunity for redevelopment or a fresh start. Just minutes from downtown and South Congress, this location puts you at the center of it all—less than 3 miles to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and the vibrant nightlife and dining scenes along South First and South Lamar. Surrounded by beloved local spots like Elizabeth Street Cafe, Loro, Bouldin Creek Cafe, and the iconic Continental Club, these lots offer unbeatable access to everything that defines the South Austin lifestyle. Whether you're envisioning a custom residential enclave, creative development, or a long-term investment in Austin’s urban core, the opportunity here is unmatched.
Family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 sq ft. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 sq ft or more. A duplex use that is designated as an SF-3 district is subject to development standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics.
