Description
OLD EAST AUSTIN CHARM IN HIP CHESTNUT NEIGHBORHOOD. Fabulous central location five minutes from UT and Downtown. Walk to Nixta Taqueria, El Chilito, Mi Madre’s, Boggy Creek Greenbelt and the historic Oakwood Cemetery or take the bike lane to Lady Bird Lake. This cottage, built in 1946, is a move-in ready, single-family home on a valuable private lot. Resident owners of 11 years have made extensive improvements including HVAC, double-pane windows, solar screens, rain gutters, kitchen and bathroom remodel, hot water heater, metal roof, electric service upgrade, porch steps and porch railings. Generous front porch, garden with five crape myrtles and moon tower view. The interior was painted throughout in 2019 with Behr paint. Good foundation. The floors were recently refinished and a stackable washer/dryer was installed.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
