About this home
Over $130,000 in recent updates and a backyard made for enjoying time at home. Tucked into South Austin’s Buckingham Estates neighborhood, this 1986 three-bedroom, two-bath home pairs established neighborhood charm with substantial improvements throughout. The big ticket items are already taken care of: new roof (2024), all new windows (2025), and a new HVAC system with fully replaced ductwork (2025). Additional updates include new Hardie board exterior siding on the sides and back, fresh exterior paint, new appliances, blown-in attic insulation, a new front door, new glass in the back doors, and an epoxy floor in garage. Kitchen and bathroom renovations round out the improvements. Outside, the backyard is complete with new pavers, built-in gas fire pit, and turf offers room for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or a quiet evening outdoors, with very little upkeep. Less yard work, more time to enjoy it. A quick drive puts you at South Austin favorites including The Far Out Lounge, Switchback Coffee & Beer, Golden Hour Cafe, Leroy and Lewis BBQ, Thicket Food Park, Torchy’s, and H-E-B. A thoughtfully updated home with easy access to the food, coffee, and live music that make this part of Austin feel like home.
