About This Home

Tucked behind a private automatic gate in the heart of East Austin, this fully updated bungalow manages to feel connected to everything while maintaining a world of its own. Original character remains intact, paired thoughtfully with modern updates that make the home as functional as it is distinctive.

The front porch overlooks a turfed yard and garden beds, creating an easy place for morning coffee, dinner outside, or a quiet end to the day. Inside, a renovated kitchen, updated bathrooms, and new roof bring peace of mind without erasing the details and warmth that give an older East Austin home its personality.

The generous primary suite looks onto the front garden, while the oversized second bedroom has room to become more than simply a place to sleep. A third bedroom works naturally as a guest room, home office, or creative space, with convenient access to the second full bath. Dedicated dining and laundry spaces, ample closets, and abundant kitchen cabinetry add the kind of practical storage that's often hard to find in a historic bungalow.

Outside, both front and back yards are turfed and fully fenced for privacy. Covered parking sits securely behind the automatic gate and can double as a shaded al fresco entertaining space, while two tucked-away sheds handle bikes, tools, and extra storage.

And then there's the location. This is the East Austin lifestyle people search for: urban, walkable, independent, and full of personality. With a Walk Score of 76, Sour Duck Market, La Plancha, Salty Sow, Nixta Taqueria, local coffee shops, parks, and neighborhood favorites are close by. UT Austin, UFCU Disch-Falk Field, McCombs Field, and Downtown Austin are also minutes away. Feeds to coveted Kealing Middle and McCallum High.

A fully renovated East Austin bungalow with character and a private yard, this one offers the best of both worlds: the energy of East Austin just outside the gate and a quiet, private place to call home within it.
