Property Overview

This East Austin home on Thurgood Ave presents an exceptional value at $277 per square foot, anchored by a remarkable third of an acre with direct access to the Walnut Creek Trail and the Boggy Creek greenbelt. The expansive backyard creates a private retreat with mature trees and natural surroundings, offering a rare combination of seclusion and connectivity to Austin's outdoor spaces while remaining minutes from downtown. The property's flexibility extends beyond the landscape: this 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence features two living areas, with the second space serving equally well as a home office, creative studio, or bonus room thanks to its separate entrance.

Recent and ongoing improvements demonstrate serious investment in this 1970s foundation. Major updates completed within the past five years include the kitchen, bathroom, new flooring and windows, plus upgraded electrical and plumbing infrastructure. The 2025 upgrades represent major systems work: a brand-new roof, replacement water heater, HVAC motor service, renovated laundry room, and new PVC drain lines. The utility infrastructure is essentially modern, reducing future maintenance concerns for the next owner.

The property's outdoor amenities enhance both lifestyle and practical functionality. A raised deck, storage shed, partially fenced perimeter, and steel-frame vehicle gate provide versatility for RV storage, boat parking, or garden projects. The motivated seller position creates opportunity for qualified buyers seeking move-in readiness with established Austin neighborhood character and genuine greenbelt proximity.
