A unique opportunity in the heart of sought-after 78704 to own TWO detached residences on one expansive 20,473-square-foot lot (. 47 acres). Tucked away on a private, tree-filled property backing to a creek, both 2-bedroom, 1-bath homes are in phenomenal condition. The original structure, built in 1952 and renovated in 2003, is a charming home offering 780 sqft, covered porches, and a fenced front yard. The second structure, built in 2007, offers 900 sqft, featuring abundant natural light, hardwood flooring, and inviting indoor-outdoor living spaces. Both homes include in-unit laundry and dedicated parking. Live in one and rent the other, create a multigenerational retreat, or hold as an income-producing investment. Just minutes from downtown, South Lamar, South 1st, Loro, The ABGB, coffee shops, shopping, and entertainment, this property offers incredible flexibility and long-term potential in one of Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods. All information provided is deemed reliable but not guaranteed, is subject to change and should be verified independently by buyer and buyer's agent.
South Lamar, located between Lady Bird Lake and Ben White Boulevard, is a walkable and entertainment-forward Austin neighborhood with a strip-mall-meets-bungalow streetscape and a late-night dining scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around South Lamar Boulevard near Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, where marquees, patios, and food-truck lots keep the sidewalks in motion. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Uchi, and The Broken Spoke anchor the area’s cultural rhythm. Mid-century apartments and newer mixed-use buildings line the corridor, while side streets hold older cottages and small courtyards. Pocket parks and the nearby lake trail shape daily routines. The terrain rises toward Zilker, with skyline views appearing between live oaks.
