Property Overview

This custom-rebuilt 1930s residence on 14th Street in Downtown Austin presents rare value at 35 percent below neighborhood median pricing. The meticulous 2010 renovation transformed the home into a sophisticated blend of vintage character and contemporary living, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dedicated office, and multiple gathering spaces spread across 2,408 square feet. High-quality updates throughout include new kitchen and bathrooms, hardwood floors, double-pane windows, updated electrical and plumbing systems, and a 30-year roof, establishing a solid foundation for years of maintenance-free enjoyment.

The expansive 7,501-square-foot lot adjacent to Swede Hill Park distinguishes this property as uniquely private for the walkable urban core. The eastern boundary features no neighboring homes, while alley access creates opportunity for future development like an accessory dwelling unit. Indoors and out, the home celebrates outdoor living with a stunning 216-square-foot screened upper porch and a covered lower porch flowing to a lush, fully fenced backyard anchored by mature palms and thoughtful plantings. A 12x16 shed provides additional storage or potential conversion.

Just steps from Congress Avenue's vibrant urban amenities and Lady Bird Lake, this East Austin location captures authentic neighborhood character while maintaining convenient access to 6th Street's entertainment and downtown's thriving cultural scene. The property's combination of substantial lot size, low price-per-square-foot positioning, and meticulous recent improvements creates compelling opportunity in one of Austin's most desirable central neighborhoods.
