Property Overview

This 1948 single-family home on Bentwood Road sits on nearly two acres of tree-lined East Austin land, presenting a canvas of possibility for investors and developers. The three-bedroom, one-bath residence features original hardwood character with a living room fireplace, eat-in kitchen with gas range hookups, and a thoughtful layout anchored by mature shade trees and a spacious backyard. Priced at $389 per square foot—15 percent below the Mueller neighborhood median—the property's value lies as much in its potential as its bones.

Located in the established Delwood section of Austin TX 78722, this East Austin holding positions buyers steps from Mueller's master-planned amenities, proximity to UT, Downtown corridors, and the emerging Manor Road development corridor. The vacant, as-is condition eliminates tenant complications and allows immediate creative control. Whether pursued as a renovation project, rental foundation, or redevelopment opportunity, the generous lot with measured street access and three parking spaces provides flexibility rarely found at this price point in this increasingly sought neighborhood.

For buyers willing to envision beyond its current state, the combination of land value, below-market pricing, and location creates an uncommon opportunity in 78722's shifting landscape.
