Property Overview

This one-story home on Sara Drive in East Austin's rapidly evolving Brooksdale neighborhood offers serious potential in one of the city's most sought-after corridors. The three-bedroom, two-bath residence sits on a substantial 0.15-acre lot with mature trees and a private yard, but the real opportunity lies in the adjacent parcel also available for purchase, combining to create a rare 0.31-acre development canvas in an area where contiguous land rarely surfaces. At $138 per square foot, this represents exceptional value positioning for the 78721 zip code, especially given proximity to Springdale General, the thriving East 12th Street dining scene, and direct access to US-183.

The property's true strength is location and land potential rather than the original 1966 structure. Minutes from Austin's most vibrant arts, coffee, and restaurant destinations, with downtown just five miles away, this Sara Drive listing appeals equally to renovators seeking a blank slate and developers recognizing the scarcity of adjacent parcels in this transformation zone. Central air and heat, inside laundry, a carport, and established utilities provide a functional foundation while you chart the property's next chapter in one of East Austin's most dynamic neighborhoods.

Vox Real Estate Insight

At Vox Real Estate, we recognize Sara Drive's positioning as genuinely rare—finding contiguous lots this size in East Austin's hottest corridor almost never happens, and at this price point, it's a developer's playground. The adjacent parcel opportunity transforms this from a standard residential offering into a significant redevelopment platform in an area where land assembly costs traditionally eat up margins.

Agent Description

Located along one of East Austin’s most rapidly transforming corridors, this single-story, three-bedroom, two-bathroom single-family home just off of Springdale Rd presents a rare entry point into 78721. Whether you choose to renovate the existing layout and make it your own or redevelop the plot from the ground up, the real value lies in the dirt and the location. Sitting on a 0.15-acre lot, the property offers immediate potential on its own, but the true opportunity unlocks with the adjacent 0.16-acre lot also available for purchase. Combined, the two parcels yield a large 0.31-acre canvas in an area where contiguous land is virtually impossible to find. The location places you right in the mix of East Austin’s premier destination spots. You are minutes from the Springdale General complex, local coffee roasters, art studios, and dining along East 12th and Airport Boulevard. Downtown Austin is less than five miles away, while US-183 provides direct routing to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in under 10 minutes.
