About this property

Natural light pours through the windows of this 1949 Hyde Park cottage: One story, hardwood floors and vintage tile, a front porch to sit on, plus the bonus of a separately metered one-bed casita out back, all on a quarter-acre lot with mature trees and off street parking.The casita is a full one-bedroom, one-bath guest house, ready to become a home office, a creative studio, a private retreat for guests, or for potential income. Between it and the main house sits a detached oversized storage building, originally the garage. It's the kind of bonus space setup that makes a house start working harder for the way you actually live.The lot itself is worth a second look on its own - over 11,400 square feet, mature trees, low maintenance landscaping, in the part of town where blocks where that kind of space rarely comes up. Abundant native plantings help make the back garden seem like you just saw it on a local garden show. Inside, there's a quiet charisma to a home this well-loved: three bedrooms sized for real living, two full baths, a large eat-in kitchen, an actual laundry room, and a layout that feels both cozy and surprisingly spacious, with closets and storage hard to find in homes of this age. The vintage phone nook is still intact - one of those original details that makes it home. Location seals the deal. Sitting just south of 51st, with two of Austin's best loved areas within an easy walk - Quack's, Julio's, and Antonelli's down Duval, or Epoch Coffee, Workhorse, and Foreign & Domestic over by North Loop. Shipe Park's pool is a few blocks west, Mueller's parks and food trucks and HEB runs are minutes away, and UT and downtown are a quick hop. Commuting routes are close, weekend errands are closer, and the porch-and-bungalow scenery surrounds you on every block. Opportunities like this in Hyde Park are rare and move quickly.
