Property Overview

This 1940s cottage on 16th Street offers East Austin investors and homeowners a rare opportunity: a buildable lot with established character in one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods. The current 864-square-foot residence sits on over a quarter-acre of land, presenting possibilities for expansion, renovation, or redevelopment while maintaining the charm that defines this historic corridor. At $266 per square foot, the pricing reflects the development potential and location advantages rather than the modest existing structure.

The heart of East Austin Living pulses just steps from this property, where vintage bungalows neighbor trendy cafes, galleries, and community spaces that have transformed the neighborhood into Austin's cultural hub. The 5,222-square-foot lot provides flexibility that's increasingly difficult to find in this densifying area. Whether buyers envision restoring the character home, building new construction, or creating a mixed-use opportunity, the bones of this 16th Street holding deliver equity and potential in a neighborhood where authentic East Austin authenticity commands premium valuations.
