About this home

Nestled in the heart of downtown Austin, this distinctive 1930 residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's history while enjoying an unbeatable central location. Set on a .15-acre lot just blocks from the Texas Capitol, Pease Park, Shoal Creek Trail, Whole Foods, and some of Austin's most beloved restaurants and coffee shops, this property combines timeless character with exceptional convenience. Inside, you'll find 2,782 square feet filled with architectural details that are increasingly difficult to find—original wood floors, high ceilings, stained glass accents, built-in bookcases, expansive windows, and beautifully crafted millwork throughout. The flexible floor plan includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple living and gathering spaces, and abundant storage. The kitchen showcases vintage-inspired tilework and overlooks the private backyard, while the spacious covered front porch offers a welcoming place to relax and enjoy the surrounding neighborhood. Upstairs bedrooms feature charming architectural lines, dormer windows, and unique built-in storage elements that add character and functionality. A standout feature of the property is the detached garage with a large workshop/studio space above, offering endless possibilities for artists, makers, hobbyists, home offices, fitness space, or additional storage. The backyard provides a peaceful retreat in the middle of the city, complete with mature landscaping and a generous deck for outdoor entertaining. Whether you're seeking a distinctive downtown residence, a live-work opportunity, or a property with room to personalize, 812 W 10th Street offers a rare combination of historic charm, versatility, and location in one of Austin's most sought-after neighborhoods. Roof repairs completed in 2024.
