Property Overview

This 1940s Craftsman sitting on over a quarter-acre in East Austin's Green Valley neighborhood presents a rare opportunity to own a character-filled home with bones worth preserving. The property's generous lot backs to a greenbelt, creating a natural buffer of privacy that few homes in this hot market offer. Inside, two recently renovated bathrooms, a tankless water heater, and a replaced AC unit signal thoughtful maintenance, while original wood floors, tile, and abundant natural light preserve the home's vintage appeal throughout the 1,249 square feet of living space.

The fenced backyard serves as a genuine retreat, complete with a fire pit and storage building for the outdoor enthusiast. Located steps from the emerging energy corridor near Tesla, plus walkable access to East Austin's vibrant coffee culture, restaurants, and transit options, this Eleanor Street residence bridges the gap between peaceful suburban living and urban convenience. The home is priced at $340 per square foot, offering solid value within Austin's competitive market.

Vox Real Estate recognizes that properties in the 100-year flood plain require specific financing considerations and thorough buyer education, which we handle proactively with each client. The AS-IS condition and settling mentioned in disclosure actually represent an opportunity for buyers willing to address minor cosmetic work and negotiate accordingly on a home with genuine structural and mechanical integrity.

Vox Real Estate Insight

The creek-adjacent greenbelt view combined with that substantial lot size makes this Eleanor Street property stand out in Austin's increasingly dense East side neighborhoods where land is heavily subdivided. What the MLS remarks frame as settling issues, we position as a transparent AS-IS sale that appeals to buyers prepared for minor remediation and seeking serious equity potential in an area experiencing meaningful appreciation.
