Property Overview

This half-acre South Manchaca gem offers genuine development potential wrapped in classic Austin ranch-style charm. The updated 1955 home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and fresh renovations including new paint, flooring, siding, and a reconstructed carport with storage. Inside, granite counters, recessed lighting, and wood accents create an inviting living space, while the main-level primary suite and all bedrooms on one floor enhance convenience. The expansive 22,302-square-foot lot, anchored by mature trees and a private fenced yard, represents the kind of generous land that South Austin increasingly values—and increasingly lacks.

What truly distinguishes 1905 Bissel Lane is its flexibility. Beyond serving as a comfortable family home, the property's size and Austin ISD zoning open doors for an accessory dwelling unit, lot subdivision, or multi-generational living arrangements. Located in Matthews Place, this South Austin location keeps downtown within twenty minutes even during peak commute times, while the $312 per square foot price sits notably below the area's $345 median. The brick and cement siding exterior, working central air and heating, and recently upgraded systems provide a solid foundation for either living in the home as-is or pursuing your development vision.
