A Standout Duplex Opportunity in South Austin’s 78745! Here’s the kind of investment that gets interesting fast: a duplex in the heart of 78745, in an established neighborhood where location does a lot of the heavy lifting. Both 2-bed/1.5-bath units are currently leased month-to-month, making this a ready-to-go rental play - or a chance to live in one side while the other helps knock down your mortgage. Each two-story unit offers two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, with living and dining areas, kitchen, laundry, and a half bath downstairs. Both have a private fenced yard with patio, one garage space, driveway parking, and outdoor storage. No fancy bells and whistles here, just the kind of layout renters actually want, in a location that keeps people anchored. The duplex was refreshed in 2021 with Hardi-plank siding and interior and exterior paint. Unit B received the bigger makeover, including quartz counters in the kitchen and baths, subway tile backsplash, updated fixtures, hardware and toilets, making it move-in ready with little fuss. Unit A got some updates, too, while leaving room for a future cosmetic refresh. Even better - easy-care wood-look laminate runs through the main living spaces. And then there’s the location. Set along a bend in the street directly across from a community center with expansive green space, gardens and a neighborhood park, this is 78745 living without the South Austin price tag.
