Property Overview

This corner-lot cottage on Avenue F brings rare breathing room to Hyde Park, offering the neighborhood's coveted combination of authentic character and genuine outdoor space. The 1932 home sits on a sprawling 5,009-square-foot lot with usable yard on both the front and south side, a luxury seldom found in this walkable historic district near UT Campus. Double driveway provides seamless parking and entry onto quiet Avenue F, eliminating the street-facing chaos typical of central Austin living.

Inside, the 1,362-square-foot layout surprises with unexpected flexibility, featuring two distinct living areas, a sun-drenched sunroom, and soaring ceilings that amplify the sense of space. Original pine wood floors and built-ins anchor the home's period charm, while a wood-burning stove and metal roof speak to thoughtful stewardship. The separated kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, and substantial cabinetry—a functional arrangement that respects both privacy and entertaining. An oversized primary bedroom floods with natural light, and the secondary bedroom offers integrated shelving and desk space, making it ideal for a home office or guest retreat.
