This South Austin bungalow hits the sweet spot between original charm and modern updates. It’s been thoughtfully renovated in all the right ways without wiping out the character. Set on an oversized lot, it features 3-bedrooms, 2-baths, plus a bonus room that flexes as your needs change. The layout is open and inviting, with the kitchen, living, and dining connected in a way that feels bright and natural. Wide-plank LVP runs through most of the home, giving it a warm, cohesive feel, while the stylish finishes keep everything looking modern and intentional. The kitchen is simply stunning: quartz counters, SS appliances, marble tile backsplash carried to the ceiling, and flat-front soft-close cabinetry. A breakfast nook with custom bench seating (and storage), creates a cozy spot for coffee. While a nearby bar adds an extra layer of function (and fun), featuring a wine fridge and custom mosaic tile backsplash, so entertaining feels easy without taking over the main kitchen. Sliding glass doors open to a massive backyard that’s ready for unwinding or hosting. It’s perfect as-is for grilling, gardening, and letting the dog roam, but it’s also wide open and ready for your vision. Two storage sheds add practical space while still fitting in with the overall look. The primary features a beautifully finished ensuite, and the two secondary bedrooms sit near a full bath, keeping the floor plan simple and functional. The real win is the walkability. You’re just minutes from St. Elmo District and The Yard, with local favorites like St. Elmo Brewing, Still Austin Whiskey, Spokesman Coffee, pickleball, and a steady lineup of food and hangout spots close enough to become your favorite routine. It’s not just a cute bungalow; it’s a smart place to put roots down in a neighborhood that stays in demand. Buyer to verify all info.
