Description

Welcome to 5004 Brighton Road, a charming single-story home tucked into one of South Austin's most beloved and character-rich neighborhoods. Sitting on a generous 0.19-acre lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom gem offers the kind of laid-back Austin lifestyle that's getting harder and harder to find.

The Home

Built with classic mid-century bones with thoughtful updates, this residence features an efficient, well-considered floor plan with two full bathrooms, a rare find at this price point. The expansive lot offers plenty of room to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors under the shade of mature Texas trees. With a 1-car garage, a refrigerator, washer/ dryer, and lawn maintenance included, this property checks all the boxes.

The Neighborhood

Step outside and you're in the heart of what locals call "old Austin" a place where the "Keep Austin Weird" spirit isn't just a slogan, it's a way of life. The 78745 zip code blends authentic neighborhood character with exciting new development, making it one of the most desirable pockets in the city.

Dining & Entertainment

You'll never run out of places to explore. Cedar Creek Studio, Austin's oldest recording studio, just steps away on Brighton Road, gives the street a creative, artistic energy unlike anywhere else in the city. Head over to nearby South Congress Avenue for iconic eateries, boutique dining, and some of the best people-watching in Austin. For a neighborhood favorite close to home, Radio Coffee & Beer on Manchaca is great to grab a coffee, beer, or cocktail along with delicious food trucks including Veracruz All Natural, and Briscuits.

Shopping

South Austin keeps things interesting when it comes to retail. South Congress is legendary for its eclectic mix from vintage finds to custom-made boots. For everyday essentials, a Central Market is conveniently located, and Target is right around the corner.

Transit & Commuting

Positioned with easy access to Highway 290 and major South Austin corridors, commuting to downtown Austin is a breeze. The location puts you close to multiple CapMetro bus routes, making car-free or car-light living a real option.

The Bottom Line

Properties at this price point don't stay on the market long. Whether you're drawn in by the lot size, the neighborhood energy, or the unbeatable South Austin address, 5004 Brighton Road is a rare opportunity to plant roots in a community that's only growing in value and vibrancy.

    "I would not recommend this area for families. Cars drive too fast, and shoulders on the sidewalks are non-existent, which means a distracted driver could easily jump the curb and hit a person. There also isn't a lot of green space or parks for kids to play in."

The location is great, with access to Ben White, Mopac, I-35 and South First is a straight run into downtown. There are two bus stops within a block. The house is located in between Central Market and Southpark Meadows and four movie theaters are 5 minutes away."
