Mueller is all about mornings that start with a stroll to the Sunday Farmer’s Market and evenings spent host-hopping down the block, and this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom single-story home sits right on one of the neighborhood's most standout streets. Built for people who actually like having neighbors and running errands on foot, this single-family layout packs high-end architectural details into a bright, easy-flowing footprint just a quick shot from Downtown Austin and major highways. The front foyer opens with a dedicated home office tucked to the left, keeping your workday organized before you even set foot in the main house. Further down the hall, a guest room and full bath sit next to a formal dining space that demands attention with its vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling. The back half of the house opens up completely: big windows flood the main living room with natural light, centered around a corner fireplace. Right beside it, the kitchen anchors the room with a granite bartop, wood cabinetry, tile backsplash, and GE Monogram stainless steel appliances ready for casual weeknight dinners or big weekend spreads. Tucked away, the primary suite gives you a real place to reset, complete with an ensuite bath that includes seperate vanities, a soaking tub, a step-in shower, and a walk-in closet that connects straight into the laundry room for ultimate convenience. The remaining secondary bedroom is generous and close to the third full bath, while details like three-step tray ceilings, exposed wood beams, and stained doors show up throughout the house. Out back, the low-maintenance turf yard means zero time spent pushing a mower, leaving your weekends free to hang on the deck with morning coffee or evening drinks. Best of all, you are a quick walk from the Thinkery, catching a movie at Alamo Drafthouse, grabbing lunch on Aldrich St, or jumping onto the local hike-and-bike trails.

At $499/sqft, this home is priced 28% above the Austin active market average of $391/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →

Neighborhood Context

About Mueller

Mueller was built on the site of Austin's old Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, which closed in 1999. What replaced it is one of the most thoughtfully planned urban neighborhoods in Texas - a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and apartments built around parks, trails, and walkable retail.

The neighborhood is anchored by Mueller Lake Park, a 30-acre park and pond at its center, and the Mueller Farmers' Market (one of Austin's best) runs every Sunday. Aldrich Street - Mueller's main commercial strip - has restaurants, coffee shops, and retail that serve the neighborhood without overwhelming it.

🌿
Mueller Lake Park

30-acre park with a pond, walking trails, splash pad, and dog park at the center of the neighborhood. Feels like a central park for the community.

🛒
Sunday Farmers Market

One of Austin's most attended farmers markets runs every Sunday year-round on Aldrich Street. A true neighborhood institution.

🏗️
Built Green

Mueller has one of the highest concentrations of green-certified homes in Austin. Many homes feature solar panels, rainwater collection, and energy-efficient construction.

🚲
Trail Network

Extensive internal trail system connects the neighborhood, plus connections to the larger Austin trail network. Cycling and walking are genuinely practical here.
