Property Overview

This 3203 South Oak Drive residence epitomizes the thoughtfully renovated character homes that define the 78704 zip code. Originally built in 1961 and completely gutted and rebuilt in 2010, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home received a comprehensive refresh in 2026 that maintains its classic bones while delivering modern systems and efficiency. The 1,260-square-foot interior sits comfortably on a generous 7,361-square-foot lot—a rare commodity in this walkable Austin neighborhood—priced at $725,000, a value point for the area's current market.

Inside, spray foam insulation and a five-year-old HVAC system with dehumidifier integration ensure year-round comfort, while a mini-split unit provides additional climate flexibility. The Bruecher foundation warranty transfers to new owners, offering structural peace of mind. The backyard represents the property's greatest opportunity: a mature trumpet vine adds immediate visual interest, while existing irrigation systems and whole-house mosquito control infrastructure are already in place. Two conceptual pool designs with separate budget estimates have been explored, allowing buyers to envision their ideal outdoor expansion.

The South Oak Drive location delivers the walkability and neighborhood character Austin buyers seek in 78704, with convenient access to local shops, dining, and parks. This home balances authentic Austin charm with contemporary living standards, presenting an ideal canvas for buyers ready to enjoy a move-in ready base or continue their personal touches in this established, desirable community.
