3 Bed 1 Bath 1,000 sqft $450/sqft Built 1962 0.13 acres Pool Oak Lawn Sec 02

Fully permitted, midcentury modern design-driven renovation in vibrant East Austin! This 3-bed, 1-bath home delivers style you can feel and upgrades you can trust. This was not a cosmetic flip — all major systems are done. New plumbing in the walls and foundation (all cast iron plumbing replaced), new electrical (wiring, fixtures, dimmable switches), new HVAC system (condenser, furnace, sleek vent covers), foam insulation, new energy-efficient windows/doors, new 35-year architectural roof, and new tankless water heater. Vaulted ceilings and huge picture/clerestory windows flood the living room with natural light, creating an open, airy vibe that feels larger than its footprint. White oak-look LVP flooring runs throughout for a seamless, modern look. The kitchen is a true standout: custom white oak cabinetry with soft-close drawers, spice storage and dual lazy Susans, quartz countertops, terrazzo-inspired backsplash, and a sculptural curved fluted peninsula that anchors the space and makes entertaining easy. Under-shelf LED lighting and a full LG Studio appliance package (gas cooking, refrigerator included) in Essence White add elevated function and style. The bathroom was boutique hotel-inspired, featuring moody green zellige and fluted wood-look tile along the backsplash and inside the walk-in shower, a backlit sunrise mirror, and a smart toilet with heated seat / multiple bidet features. The primary bedroom has 2 closets and access to a new deck that spans the entire width of the home, overlooking the newly-fenced, fully enclosed backyard — ideal for hosting, relaxing, or expanding with a new gas line for a future outdoor kitchen. In the 3rd bedroom is an interior laundry closet, offering flexibility for a home office, gym, or guest space. The carport with finished storage includes an EV charger. Architecturally interesting, structurally solid, and perfectly positioned near the energy of Downtown Austin — move-in ready and designed to stand out. Agents are owners.

At $450/sqft, this home is priced 15% above the Austin active market average of $391/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →
