Property Overview

This 1939 cottage at 2101 E 8th St sits on one of East Austin's most coveted corridors, positioned for savvy investors and developers eyeing strategic growth in the 78702 zip code. The three-bedroom, one-bath home occupies prime real estate steps from downtown, surrounded by the vibrant cultural ecosystem that defines modern East Austin—thriving galleries, acclaimed restaurants, craft breweries, and a dynamic mix of restored historic architecture alongside contemporary new construction. At just under 461 square feet, the property's true value lies in its location and development potential rather than its existing footprint.

This offering becomes particularly compelling when paired with two adjacent parcels also available for $1,018,000 combined, creating approximately 0.27 acres with 92 feet of East 8th Street frontage—a rare assemblage in a neighborhood where larger developable sites rarely materialize. City water and sewer infrastructure are already in place, utilities are established, and the land sits in Flood Zone X with confirmed residential zoning, removing critical barriers to development. The seller remains open to separate transactions, giving buyers flexibility to acquire this individual property or pursue a larger vision.
