In the heart of 78704, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home delivers modern comfort wrapped in South Austin charm. A grand red oak greets you out front, shading a modern take on a Victorian cottage, playful turret and charming porch trim included. Inside, the layout is open and welcoming. Wood floors and high ceilings carry through the open living and dining area, anchored by a kitchen that impresses with polished gray quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, a center island, and a breakfast bar. Stainless steel appliances tie the look together. The spacious primary suite sits quietly at the back of the home, with backyard views and a sliding barn door leading to an ensuite bath. Echoing the kitchen’s clean lines and modern edge, the ensuite features dual vanities, gray quartz counters, and an oversized walk-in shower with dual shower heads. Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms and a full bath offer plenty of flexibility for guests, work, or creative space. The backyard is made for relaxing and gathering, a raised deck rests under the canopy of a century-old oak while mature trees beyond the fence add shade and privacy, creating a backyard retreat that makes you forget you are in the city. But what really sets this home apart is the location. Then there’s the location: one of South Austin’s most walkable, dog-friendly pockets. Grab your morning coffee at Summer Moon or Radio Coffee & Beer, walk to Galindo Elementary, stroll to nearby parks, or bike to Zilker, Barton Springs, or the Greenbelt in minutes. Groceries, dining, and local favorites on South Lamar and South 1st are just around the corner, with easy access to St. Edward’s, St. David’s South, and major highways for commuting. Living here means the eclectic, laid-back vibe that defines 78704 living, is right outside your doorstep. Roof replaced, July 2024
