About this home

Charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage in the heart of Austin's North University neighborhood, offering a rare opportunity for an owner-occupant or investor in one of Austin's most sought-after rental corridors. The home features original hardwood floors, spacious living and dining areas, solar panels, and updated plumbing, with the roof replaced in 2022. Outside, a low-maintenance yard with native landscaping keeps upkeep simple, and a large shed with washer/dryer hookups offers extra storage or workshop potential. Incredibly charming front porch and curb appeal. Washer, dryer, fridge convey. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street just blocks from Hyde Park's restaurants and coffee shops, the property offers easy access to UT Austin (less than 1 mile, a 12-minute walk), steps from local coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping, making it a strong long-term rental or home base in Central Austin. Pre-inspected and move-in ready as-is, with room to make it your own.
