Tucked into the established Huntland Heights neighborhood, this well-maintained home is being offered for the first time in over six decades—a rare opportunity to put down roots in one of Austin’s growing central pockets. Lovingly cared for by the same owner since 1962, it offers the kind of solid foundation today’s buyers are looking for—reliable, comfortable, and full of potential. Major updates in recent years —including windows & roof, means the bigger-ticket items are already handled, giving you peace of mind as you step into homeownership. Inside, fresh paint and Kitchen Craft cabinetry provide a clean, functional starting point, with room to update and personalize over time at your own pace. The lifestyle here is easy to imagine: morning coffee on the front porch, evenings under the spacious covered back porch, and a yard with established landscaping that feels private and lived-in. A * * one-car garage with opener * * and garden shed add practical storage for real life. Located near the ACC Highland campus with quick access to major corridors, dining, and retail, this home offers both convenience and long-term upside in a neighborhood that continues to evolve. This home lives larger than its square footage—and offers something increasingly hard to find: a well-cared-for home, in a central location, at a point where you can still make it your own and grow into it. Opportunities like this don’t come often—a long-held home, thoughtfully maintained, and ready for what’s next.
