Property Overview

This rare Griswold Lane offering in prestigious Tarrytown presents an exceptional blank canvas for reimagining. Situated on a generous quarter-acre lot with minimal tree restrictions—only 3 protected trees on the property's perimeter—this 1953 ranch home invites builders and visionary owners to shape its future with remarkable flexibility. The existing 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence spans 1,544 square feet and includes a fully equipped studio with separate kitchen and bath, currently generating rental income or accommodating multigenerational living arrangements.

The property's distinct advantage lies in its development potential within one of Austin's most coveted neighborhoods. While the main house retains mid-century character across its livable layout, the minimal protected trees and straightforward site conditions allow for thoughtful expansion, comprehensive renovation, or complete rebuilding—a luxury rarely available in Tarrytown's tree-dense streetscape. The quarter-acre setting places the home steps from top-rated schools, Lake Austin access, and the neighborhood's tree-lined streets that define its prestige.

Located in central Austin with direct access to the amenities that make Tarrytown distinctive, 2004 Griswold Lane offers both immediate income potential through the studio unit and long-term value through development flexibility. At $648 per square foot, the pricing aligns with neighborhood comps while reflecting the land's strategic positioning and adaptive possibilities.

Vox Residential Insight

What sets this listing apart is the rare combination of development freedom and Tarrytown's established prestige—most properties in this neighborhood face significant tree restrictions that limit renovation scope. The Vox Residential team recognizes this as a genuine opportunity for buyers seeking either income-producing flexibility now or transformative potential down the road.

Agent Description

A rare Tarrytown opportunity with exceptional flexibility for redevelopment, expansion, or thoughtful renovation. On this established quarter-acre lot, there are only 2 protected trees on the lot and 4 protected trees on the adjacent lot to the east along the creek. All remaining trees on the property are under 19", giving architects, builders, and visionary buyers an unusual degree of freedom in shaping the property's next chapter. The protected trees are clearly marked with pink tape for easy identification on site. A tree and topography survey is displayed onsite at the property. The 1950s vintage ranch offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths across a livable, character-rich layout. The main house features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath with two separate vanities. A fully equipped studio (Unit B) includes its own kitchen and full bath, ideal for rental income, multigenerational living, or a private guest retreat. Original details and authentic period finishes invite preservation, sensitive renovation, or a complete reimagining. Outside, a pavered courtyard and mature canopy frame a wet-weather creek to the east, lending a rare sense of permanence and privacy. Tarrytown places you minutes from downtown, the UT campus, Zilker Park, SoCo, and Austin's most beloved parks, restaurants, and entertainment. All Austin ISD schools sit within a 5-minute drive. This is more than a property. It's a rare chance to shape the future of a home rich in history, on a lot built for possibility.
