About this home
On the corner of Gibson and South 3rd in Bouldin’s South Heights, three blocks from South Congress, this 1939 bungalow sits on just under a tenth of an acre with frontage on both streets. The house still has its period detail, and the corner lot leaves room to add on. Inside, 1,335 square feet keeps the original character: hardwood floors and crown molding, and a kitchen finished in checkerboard tile, butcher block counters, and subway tile. A covered carport opens just off the kitchen. The primary bedroom keeps its original hardwood floors and crown molding. Down the stairs, a lower room sits beneath exposed beams, with built-in shelving and glass block windows in both the sitting area and the stairwell. Outside, a wood deck and a covered side porch face a landscaped side yard under the tree canopy. Black-and-white striped awnings mark the house from the street. With frontage on two streets, the lot gives a buyer options. A third bedroom could be added to the main house, or a detached garage could be built with an apartment above for guests, a home office, or a long-term tenant. Buyers should confirm with the City of Austin before planning any addition. South Congress’s shops and restaurants are a few minutes’ walk away. Lady Bird Lake’s hike-and-bike trail and Zilker Park are a short ride beyond, and downtown is about five minutes by car. Bouldin has kept its 1930s scale as Austin has grown around it, and this house is part of that, with room left for what comes next.
