Property Overview

This 1967 South Austin gem sits on nearly a quarter-acre lot in the established Sherwood Oaks neighborhood, offering exceptional land value in one of Austin's most desirable 78704 zip codes. The refreshed 3-bedroom, 1-bath home provides comfortable living in 1,145 square feet, while the expansive 8,624 square foot lot represents the property's true asset—ideal for those envisioning a complete renovation, new construction, or investment opportunity in this tree-lined pocket just minutes from South Congress and St. Edward's University.

Located on Carnarvon Lane, the home enjoys immediate access to the vibrant SOCO district with its iconic shops, restaurants, and live music venues, plus easy proximity to Lady Bird Lake's hike-and-bike trail and Zilker Park. The quiet residential setting balances urban convenience with a peaceful, walkable neighborhood feel. Commuting is straightforward via nearby Oltorf and South Congress access to I-35 and Highway 290.

At $437 per square foot, this property represents compelling value for buyers or builders seeking a foothold in South Austin's sought-after neighborhood landscape. The generous lot dimensions and prime location create multiple development paths in a market segment where such opportunities have become increasingly scarce.
