Property Overview

This charming 1950s cottage on Burrell Drive in Wooten Park showcases classic midcentury character with thoughtful modern updates throughout. The three-bedroom, two-bath home features refinished hardwood and tile flooring, a renovated kitchen with gas cooking, and refreshed bathrooms that respect the home's original bones while delivering contemporary comfort. Central air and heating keep this Austin residence comfortable year-round, while recessed lighting and ceiling fans enhance the efficient use of its 984 square feet.

The real draw lies beyond the four walls. The quarter-acre lot is anchored by mature shade trees and opens to a spacious back deck ideal for entertaining and enjoying Austin's outdoor lifestyle. A detached two-car garage provides flexibility for storage, a workshop, or future conversion.

Vox Real Estate Insight

The Vox Real Estate team recognizes that Wooten Park's tree-lined streets and family-friendly character rarely come on the market at this price point, and the spacious lot size is increasingly rare for the neighborhood. This cottage appeals equally to buyers seeking original charm with modern updates or investors eyeing the structural integrity and land value for potential enhancement.
