On nearly a third of an acre lot in the heart of S. Austin, sits this 2,117 sqft. main residence as well as a detached 377 sqft. casita. With this much space in such a convenient location, the opportunities are limitless. The main house is spacious & features wainscoting, built-in speakers, coffered ceilings, & intricate tile work. An open floor plan takes you from the living area into the dining area & kitchen. In the expansive kitchen, you’ll find granite countertops, copious cabinets, a large center island, a gas oven, & a walk-in pantry. On the other side of the home you will find the primary bedroom as well as 2 additional bedrooms & a full bath. The generously sized primary bedroom features built-ins, coffered ceilings & a jetted tub in the en-suite. On the other side of the kitchen, you will find 1 more bedroom as well as the laundry room. The detached casita or “man-shack” is small but mighty! It features tall ceilings, a kitchenette, a large sink, & open shelving. There’s room for a small living & dining area & a sliding barn door separates the sleeping space from the bathroom. Outside, a generously sized wrap around deck offers plenty of exterior space. The casita could be utilized as a guest home, office, airbnb, or long term rental. The lot has a fenced in grassy lawn, planter beds, a covered arbor & plenty of off-street parking. There’s a gardening shed as well as an industrial sink on the back patio of the main home. This home would also make for a great investment property. No matter what you have in mind for this property, the incredible location is certainly a major appeal. It’s situated just south of Ben White, less than 1 mile from Radio Coffee & Beer as well as Central Market. This is the perfect location for anyone to experience the best that Austin has to offer.
