Property Overview

This 1935-built home on South 2nd Street in East Austin sits on a generous corner lot within walking distance of the neighborhood's thriving restaurant and brewery scene. The single-story main residence offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms in a straightforward layout that flows naturally for daily living and entertaining. A separate detached unit on the property provides distinct possibilities—whether as guest quarters, a home office, creative studio, or rental income stream. The raised foundation, central air and heating, and covered porches create practical comfort, while the wood-fenced front yard and rear deck establish clear outdoor spaces for relaxation and gathering.

East Austin's cultural dynamism and walkable proximity to downtown make this location particularly compelling for buyers seeking neighborhood character without sacrificing urban convenience. The Bouldin neighborhood continues evolving as a dynamic hub where historic 1930s cottages coexist alongside modern infill development, and local dining and arts venues draw residents and visitors alike. At $641 per square foot, this property reflects the premium Austin's most desirable central neighborhoods command compared to the area median of $508 per square foot.
