This almost half acre property is being marketed as a tear down. A new 4" sewer line from the house to the street has been installed in Aug/Sept 2025 for >$30,000 with full permits, which will save on development cost. According to the City of Austin's HOME initiative property code changes, 'small lot single-family residential use' allows for development on lots as small as 1800 ft. The highest and best use of this property might be to subdivide it into two 10,000SF+ lots and build multiple units on each lot, or build multiple units on the whole almost half acre property. There is no tree survey available, but most of the trees are on the periphery of the lot and the center part of the lot which would be the buildable area is clear and flat. There is a lot of new development in this area and it is very desirable due to proximity to Downtown as well as UT Austin.

At $426/sqft, this home is priced 9% above the Austin active market average of $391/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →
