Want Mueller walkability without Mueller's new-construction price tag? Detached single-family homes inside Mueller are selling for $900K–$1.3M — this is your entry point into the same lifestyle at $849K, with something Mueller can't offer: a pool, a spa, and a home with actual soul. This transformed 1940s Delwood cottage is two blocks from Mueller's restaurants, Farmer's Market, HEB with outdoor bar and live music, and Alamo Drafthouse. Sitting on the front porch beneath the custom concrete waterfall, you'd never guess downtown Austin is 2.5 miles away. Inside: original mid-century bones meet intentional, design-forward updates throughout. Three bedrooms, two baths, 1,719 sqft, every inch considered. The backyard pool and spa make this one of the most complete properties in the corridor. Currently tenant-occupied through July with documented rental income, ideal for an investor seeking immediate cash flow, or an owner-occupant ready to step in at lease end. Lease details available upon request. 2 miles to UT. Walk to Mueller. Pool. Character. Priced below the Mueller SFH market. This one doesn't come around often!

At $465/sqft, this home is priced 18% above the Austin active market average of $393/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →
