Property Overview

This 1962 ranch-style home on Plumas Lane sits on a rare 0.25-acre lot in South Manchaca, offering the kind of land-to-home ratio that's increasingly scarce just minutes from downtown Austin. Mature trees provide natural privacy and character, creating a grounded setting with genuine potential for expansion, renovation, or as-is living. The three-bedroom, two-bath layout flows with open living areas and natural light, while recent kitchen updates including GE Cafe appliances and modernized hardware signal thoughtful care.

The home's true value lies in its South Manchaca positioning and generous lot size—a foundation that appeals to buyers seeking space without sprawl in an established Austin neighborhood. At $429 per square foot, the pricing reflects the land premium and location advantage over comparable area homes. The flexible footprint accommodates various lifestyles, whether as a comfortable primary residence, investment opportunity, or project for selective updating.
