Property Overview

This mid-century modern bungalow in Austin, TX delivers sophisticated living with a resort-style retreat hidden in your own backyard. Built in 1964 and revitalized through comprehensive 2021 renovations, the home features a refreshed kitchen with new cabinetry and appliances, updated HVAC and roof, plus fresh interior and exterior paint completed in February 2026. The 1,043 square feet of living space flows seamlessly onto a sparkling pool, a wisteria-draped arbor offering shaded entertaining space, and a mature magnolia tree that anchors the completely fenced 8,437-square-foot lot.

Positioned in one of Austin's most vibrant neighborhoods, this property sits steps from the coffee culture and dining scene of St. Elmo, with immediate access to Battle Bend neighborhood park and Lady Bird Lake trails. South Congress energy, downtown live music venues, and Zilker Park are all within quick reach, while practical proximity to St. Edwards University and major medical facilities adds genuine lifestyle balance. Priced at $385,000—well under the $400K threshold for this caliber of mid-century character in South Austin—the home represents a rare convergence of renovated comfort, outdoor living potential, and walkable urban access.

Vox Residential Insight

The Vox Residential team sees this property as a smart acquisition for buyers seeking that elusive South Austin authenticity without a full restoration project; the 2021 systems work and recent paint refresh mean you're moving in, not renovating. At under $370 per square foot with pool and mature landscaping already in place, this represents genuine value in a neighborhood where comparable mid-century homes are commanding significantly higher price points.
