Property Overview

This East Congress gem on Old Stone Road presents a rare opportunity to own a freshly renovated home with substantial updates completed in 2025. The residence sits on a generous 11,478-square-foot lot in a peaceful cul-de-sac setting, offering both privacy and community appeal in this sought-after Austin neighborhood. Inside, the three-bedroom, two-bath layout spans 1,275 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space, anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling limestone wood-burning fireplace that serves as the home's showstopping centerpiece.

Recent improvements throughout include new flooring, fresh paint inside and out, updated lighting, and a completely reimagined kitchen featuring granite countertops and brand-new appliances. Both bedrooms and bathrooms reflect careful attention to modern comfort and style. The 2025 roof and HVAC system provide immediate peace of mind, while a transferable home warranty adds further assurance.

The true entertainment draw lies in the expansive backyard, shaded by mature trees and featuring a newly constructed in-ground pool. At $388 per square foot, this property positions itself competitively for buyers seeking move-in-ready comfort with substantial recent investment in both systems and aesthetics throughout the home.

Vox Residential Insight

The 2025 pool, roof, and HVAC represent over $75,000 in major infrastructure updates that typically concern buyers in this price range, so this property arrives without those common negotiating points. From Vox Residential's perspective, the combination of immediate occupancy and verified recent major systems work makes this East Congress location particularly attractive for buyers who want to avoid the typical renovation timeline.
