Property Overview

This 1940 Craftsman on Eleanor Street captures the essence of East Austin living with substantial bones and creek-backed privacy on nearly a quarter acre. The 1,249 square feet flows naturally across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, anchored by tall ceilings and abundant natural light that define the original architecture. Recent updates including newly renovated bathrooms, a tankless water heater, and fresh AC installation demonstrate thoughtful stewardship while honoring the home's vintage character. The soaking tub in one bathroom offers a retreat within this intimate layout.

The backyard becomes an extension of living space with its generous fenced area, fire pit, and detached storage building—ideal for East Austin's outdoor-oriented lifestyle. Inside, ample storage and solid fundamentals address everyday needs. Located steps from Tesla's East Austin campus, local coffee culture, dining destinations, and public transit access, the property positions owners within the neighborhood's thriving creative and commercial corridor. At $376 per square foot, this represents genuine value for the area's trajectory.

Vox Residential Insight

The creek backdrop and substantial lot size are becoming increasingly rare in East Austin's evolution, making this Eleanor Street property particularly appealing to buyers seeking breathing room without sacrificing walkability. At Vox Residential, we recognize that settling and drywall patching in a home under $500K in this location rarely impacts buyer enthusiasm, especially given the recent mechanical upgrades and bathroom renovations already completed.
