Property Overview

Flooded with natural light and anchored by gleaming original hardwood floors, this 1957 mid-century ranch on a generous corner lot in Western Trails represents rare value in South Austin. The 2,061-square-foot single-story home has been thoughtfully refreshed with updated windows and a fresh interior palette while preserving its authentic character, including charming original tile details in both bathrooms. The layout flows effortlessly across two distinct living areas, a dedicated office with garden views, and an entertainer's kitchen ready to serve as-is or accommodate future updates.

The South Manchaca neighborhood location positions this property steps away from growing dining and retail amenities while maintaining the spacious, tree-lined feel that defines Austin's desirable ranch-style communities. At $315 per square foot—12 percent below the area median—4702 Lasso PATH offers substantial square footage and acreage compared to nearby inventory. The screened room and multi-directional windows create ideal spaces for both daily living and entertaining, with morning light streaming into the front sitting area and evening rays warming the back of the home.

Agent Description

On a generous corner lot in Western Trails, this beautifully refreshed mid-century home offers over 2,000 sq ft of single-story living; a rare amount of space this close to the heart of South Austin.

Outside, the yard wraps around the majority of the home, offering space, privacy, and flexibility, with fresh grass just beginning to establish for the season ahead. Located in one of South Austin’s most loved mid-century neighborhoods, you’re a walk from Central Market, Wheatsville, local coffee spots, parks, and everything along S Lamar and South Congress; all within easy reach while still enjoying a quiet, established setting.
