For investors and remodelers who have been waiting for the right central Austin project, 5610 Joe Sayers feels like the kind of place you circle on the map and don’t forget. The house itself is simple and honest: a 2 bed, 1 bath bungalow with original hardwoods, pier-and-beam foundation, wood windows, and sunlight pouring in from three sides. At 913 square feet it’s an easy footprint to rework, open up, or build onto, and the deep backyard gives you room to think bigger—ADU, addition, studio, or a thoughtful outdoor living setup framed by mature trees.

What really makes this one stand out is everything around it. Joe Sayers is a quiet, tree-lined street with a mix of classic bungalows, tasteful remodels, and new construction all signaling ongoing reinvestment in the neighborhood. Teckla B. Harms Park sits just across the street, adding green space and a bit of everyday charm right out the front door. Head a few blocks in any direction and you land on Burnet Rd favorites, local coffee, neighborhood restaurants, and an H-E-B run that doesn’t require getting on the highway.

From here, the rest of the city is straightforward: quick access to MoPac, 290, 183, and I-35 puts downtown, the Domain, UT, and major job centers all within a short drive. That central connectivity is the kind of thing tenants, future buyers, and long-term holds tend to value year after year, especially as this pocket continues to fill in with higher-end product.

The home is ready for a full cosmetic overhaul and is being sold as-is, giving the next owner freedom to decide how far to take the improvements. Clean it up and lease it, take it down to the studs and modernize, or work toward a larger plan over time. If you’ve been looking for a project with strong bones, a generous lot, and an address that supports the work you put into it, Joe Sayers is worth a serious look.
