Property Overview

This Oak Hedge Place residence commands immediate attention for its exceptional lot, a rare half-acre sanctuary anchored by one of South Austin's most impressive Live Oaks. The mature canopy provides year-round outdoor living under a natural pavilion, with established landscaping and a welcoming patio ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection. Situated in Elmwood Estates, this quiet pocket of Austin TX offers the feeling of rural escape while remaining conveniently close to the city's pulse.

The 1,403 square foot, three-bedroom home thoughtfully balances vintage charm with modern comfort. Original hardwood floors flow throughout light-filled rooms enhanced by recessed lighting and a neutral palette that preserves the character of this 1956-built home. The kitchen features granite counters, custom cabinetry, and stainless appliances anchoring the living space, while a generously proportioned primary bathroom represents the kind of upgrade rare in homes of this era. Central heating and cooling systems keep the home efficient year-round, complemented by a two-car garage and detached carport providing ample parking.

Agent Description

Set under a canopy of mature trees on just over half an acre, this three bedroom, two bath home sits in one of South Austin's quieter pockets. The lot is the first thing you notice. The lot, a little over half an acre, is uncommon anywhere this close to town, and the Live Oak at the center of it, is one of the largest and finest you'll find in the area. The yard is landscaped and open. The patio off the back allows for an outdoor lounge under the canopy, enjoyable year-round. There's room here to entertain, to garden, to build more or add on if you'd like. The original hardwood floors are still in place, and a neutral palette with recessed lighting keeps the rooms bright without erasing the character of the house. The kitchen anchors the living space, featuring granite counters, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar. A 7' x 14' primary bathroom was added, giving the house a comfort that homes of this vintage rarely have. The systems have been brought current as well, including HVAC, electrical, and windows, so there's nothing left to sort out before you move in. The location does a lot of quiet work. South Congress and its shops and restaurants are a few minutes away, and the Violet Crown Trail and Mary Moore Searight Park are close enough to become part of a normal weekend. HEB and Sprouts are both an easy errand and the local restaurants are plentiful. Downtown is about fifteen minutes, and the airport about twenty. This part of South Austin has been evolving in exciting ways, and it isn't finished yet. A renovated home on half an acre, private and this close in, is a combination that doesn't come along often.
