Property Overview
This exceptional corner lot in the heart of East Austin offers rare flexibility and opportunity. Anchored by a thoughtfully remodeled 1950s residence that once served as the parsonage for Grant Chapel AME Church, the property spans 0.37 acres across two legally platted lots with three street frontages on Poquito Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, and a rear alley. The main house features a 4-Star Austin Energy Green Building certification, original oak hardwood floors, open living and dining spaces, standing-seam metal roof, and spray foam insulation updated during a comprehensive 2011 renovation. Two additional structures on the grounds open possibilities for studio, workshop, guest quarters, or creative adaptive reuse.
Positioned minutes from the thriving East 11th and 12th Street corridors, this East Austin location captures the neighborhood's cultural vitality, booming restaurant and brewery scene, and architectural character while offering legitimate development potential under SF-3-NP zoning with Rosewood Neighborhood Plan overlay. The current configuration honors the property's historic roots while inviting buyers to envision its next chapter, whether as a refined primary residence, multi-unit development, or creative live-work space. A new survey and title commitment are in hand, and all zoning and development feasibility should be verified independently.
