Property Overview

This South Congress gem on Little John Lane captures the essence of Austin living—a quiet retreat just steps from SoCo's vibrancy and walkable to Blunn Creek Nature Preserve. Built in 1961, the 1,326 square foot home sits on nearly two acres of opportunity, offering residents direct access to neighborhood essentials like the newly opened H-E-B and beloved local spots such as Walter's Tavern. The location perfectly balances urban convenience with peaceful seclusion, placing you just 15 minutes from the airport while remaining close to major thoroughfares.

Inside, the floor plan demonstrates thoughtful design with every inch optimized for livability. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms flow naturally through abundant natural light, while smart storage solutions—including a dedicated pantry, expansive laundry room with hanging space, and generous closeting—eliminate the clutter that plagues many older homes. Original charming details like round vents paired with modern touches including dimmer switches and quality window treatments showcase a home that has received genuine care and attention.

The generous outdoor space invites relaxation and entertaining, creating a private sanctuary within one of Austin TX's most desirable neighborhoods. At $792 per square foot, this property represents solid value in a location where walkability, nature access, and established community character typically command premium pricing.

The Vox Residential team recognizes this as an ideal entry point for buyers wanting SoCo's lifestyle without SoCo's premium pricing, especially given the home's smart bones and deferred maintenance-free presentation.
