Property Overview

This 1966 South Manchaca ranch sits on nearly two acres of prime real estate, backing directly to Garrison Park on a tree-lined street where neighbors span decades. The 1,644 square-foot layout features an oversized primary suite and generous secondary bedrooms positioned privately toward the rear, while front-facing rooms offer flexible space for offices, guests, or creative redesign. What makes 1704 Parkside Lane truly exceptional is the sheer potential: Anderson windows and modern fencing frame an expansive backyard canvas ready for transformation, whether envisioned as an entertainer's paradise or extended living retreat.

The bones tell a story of thoughtful original construction rarely found in this price range. South Manchaca continues its evolution with growing amenities and increasingly discerning homeowners, yet this property sits 14 percent below area median pricing at $304 per square foot. The first listing in 26 years signals long-term resident confidence in the neighborhood, and the floorplan already flows with a logic that transcends its era. Investors, renovators, and visionary homeowners recognize what's here: location next to parkland, proven neighborhood stability, and a blank canvas awaiting execution in one of Austin's most accessible south-side communities.

Agent Description

First time on market in 26 years! Backing directly to Garrison Park on a quiet street surrounded by long-time neighbors and pride of ownership, this property offers the rare combination of location, layout, and upside that investors, flippers, designers, and future homeowners are all chasing right now. With a floorplan that already feels ahead of its time, the home features an oversized Primary Suite and large secondary bedroom tucked privately toward the rear, while the additional front bedrooms create flexibility for guests, office space, or future redesign potential. The bones are here. The layout works. Now it is ready for someone with vision to bring it fully to life. Major improvements already completed include newer Anderson windows and sliding glass door, along with modern 8-foot horizontal fencing that frames an incredible backyard space just waiting for restoration and reinvention. Whether you envision a designer renovation, outdoor entertaining oasis, expanded living concept, or simply reviving the existing charm, the backyard alone creates an opportunity that is getting harder and harder to find in this area. Sqft and floorplan are deemed reliable but not exact, and the home is believed to be larger than TCAD reflects. Buyers to verify all information independently. Property is still in the final stages of clearing just a few furniture pieces. This is not just another fixer-upper. This is a chance to create something special in one of South Austin’s most loved pockets, directly backing to green space with room to add value, personality, and equity. Opportunities with this kind of setting, layout, and potential do not last long. Bring your contractor, your designer, your imagination, or your forever-home vision - and come see what this property could become before someone else does!
