Property Overview

This 1952 Bouldin cottage at 2403 2nd Street embodies the authentic character that defines South Lamar, Austin TX. Original long-leaf pine floors flow throughout the living spaces, anchoring a home that has been lovingly maintained by the same family for generations. Natural light streams across traditional crown molding in the living room, while generous windows frame views of the lush backyard and create a seamless connection to the outdoor spaces. The kitchen features a gas range and overlooks the substantial lot, making it feel like an extension of the home's open layout.

Measuring 560 square feet across two surprisingly spacious bedrooms and one bathroom, this property offers an intimate footprint on a generous 6,390-square-foot lot—rare in this neighborhood. The home's walkable location puts residents steps from South 1st Street's coffee shops, Restaurant Row, and the vibrant dining scene that made South Austin legendary. Zilker Park and the Alamo Drafthouse are within easy reach, while the eclectic mix of local shops and nightlife keeps the neighborhood thriving. This is a genuine opportunity to own a piece of South Austin's history in one of the city's most sought-after central locations.

Vox Residential Insight

The Vox Residential team recognizes this property's value lies not in square footage but in land and location—a 6,390-square-foot Bouldin lot this close to Zilker Park represents generational stability in an increasingly dense neighborhood. For buyers seeking authentic South Austin character rather than mass-produced finishes, the original craftsmanship and multi-generational care story create emotional resonance that newer construction simply cannot replicate.
