Property Description

This 1950s bungalow, a reimagined duplex poised on a prominent corner lot, serves as a timeless gateway to the soulful, historic essence of Hyde Park. The experience begins on the inviting front porch—a quintessential vantage point for soaking in the neighborhood’s celebrated "front porch culture" and the rhythmic beauty of life in one of the city's most storied enclaves. A car-free lifestyle is effortless here, with vibrant local restaurants and boutiques just steps away among the mature, tree-lined streets. Inside, two thoughtfully renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom units radiate "Old Austin" sophistication while preserving the home’s original architectural heartbeat. The sun-drenched interiors are highlighted by elegant windows that illuminate hardwood floors, crisp crown moldings, and the soft, graceful curves of classic arched doorways. The layout offers incredible versatility, whether you choose to live in one side while generating income from the other, or maintain the entire property as a refined investment. For those looking to expand, the property holds immense potential to add a second story or even create a third unit within or above the garage. Adding to the functional allure is a massive, detached two-car garage that offers abundant storage space alongside a dedicated, enclosed office that opens directly to the backyard-a serene retreat for creative work or quiet focus. This property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Austin history with loads of future potential, perfectly positioned within the Lee, Kealing, and McCallum school zones. With quick access to the University of Texas and Hyde Park classics like Shipe Park just minutes from your doorstep, you are never far from the best of the city. When weekend errands call, Central Market and the Hancock Center HEB are equally convenient. A Hyde Park classic just waiting for its next story to be written. Both units are currently leased - Unit A ($1790, through 10/21/2027) - Unit B (MTM@$1975)
