Property Overview

This 1952 Bouldin bungalow on 2nd Street represents authentic South Austin living, where vintage character meets prime walkability. The home's crown jewel is its original long-leaf pine flooring, meticulously preserved throughout the bright living spaces and flowing seamlessly into the dining area. A wall of windows connects the kitchen—equipped with a gas range—to the generous backyard, creating an inviting flow that captures the relaxed lifestyle this South Lamar neighborhood is known for.

The two surprisingly spacious bedrooms each showcase the same beautiful long-leaf pine floors that anchor the home's timeless appeal. This 560-square-foot cottage sits on nearly a quarter-acre lot, offering rare land value in a neighborhood steps from Restaurant Row, independent cafes along South 1st Street, and direct access to the vibrant Zilker Park area. Decades of single-family stewardship have resulted in a home with genuine warmth and integrity—qualities that resonate far beyond newer construction in the 78704 zip code.

Vox Residential Insight

At $924 per square foot, this property commands a significant premium, but Vox Residential recognizes that what buyers are investing in here is the scarcity of mid-century character homes with this much original architectural detail and land in one of Austin's most coveted neighborhoods. The price reflects both the irreplaceable bones of the home and its location within walking distance of some of South Austin's most sought-after dining and entertainment destinations.

Agent Description

This Bouldin bungalow is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage that serves as a piece of South Austin history, offering the walkable lifestyle that defines the area just a short stroll from the local cafes and coffee spots along South 1st Street. There is a palpable warmth here that only comes from a home being held and meticulously maintained by the same family for decades. It carries a sense of character and longevity that stands out among the newer builds in the 78704 zip code. The interior of this Bouldin home is centered around gorgeous original long-leaf pine floors. These wood floors have been beautifully preserved and stretch through a living room filled with natural light and traditional crown molding. The layout is easy and open, flowing into the dining area and a kitchen that feels deeply connected to the backyard thanks to a wall of windows. The kitchen features a gas range and a view of the backyard. The two bedrooms are surprisingly oversized, each offering long leaf pine flooring. The bathroom adds a lovely touch to the home's charm with its marble and subway tile finishes. The backyard is where this Bouldin property truly comes alive, featuring an ancient tree that provides a deep canopy of shade over a lush grassy lawn. It is a quiet, private world that feels tucked away, especially since the yard is angled to maintain a sense of seclusion from the nearby commercial spots. Between the covered back patio, the xeriscaped landscaping, and the wide-open garden space, there is so much room to host friends or just enjoy a quiet evening in the shade. Living in Bouldin puts you in the middle of everything, only minutes from the skyline of Downtown Austin and a quick walk to the music and boutique shopping on South Congress. With the 2010 renovations providing a solid foundation and quick access to I-35 making any commute easy, this home is ready for its next chapter.
