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.

    "Several nearby parks and trails to walk your dog. If your dog is good off leash you can let them off and people seem cool with it. "
  • Jldavisdesign
    "Fast drivers, not much parking, rude newcomers, inflated prices, super high taxes, great bars, few remaining old stock homes due to greedy developers, more rentals popping up, and A few awesome neighbors. Pet friendly."
  • Robert M. R.
    "Fantastic time to live, buy/rent in the Chestnut area. It's vibrant, booming, yet still feels "real" with a cool mix of cutting edge modern homes and charming pride of ownership older homes. If you're super lucky you may just spot that rarest of rarities these days - a fixer upper."
  • Morgan F.
    "Proximity to DT or other parts of central Austin. Still affordable. Lots of new restaurants opening. "
