About this home
Prime redevelopment opportunity in one of Austin’s most sought-after locations. This .21-acre corner lot in Zilker offers exceptional potential for new construction or a complete reimagining of the existing structure. The current improvements include a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a carport, expansive deck, tool shed, and a 400 sq. ft. workshop. The property is enhanced with an EV charger and owned solar panels, adding value for those considering renovation. Mature trees provide shade and character, further increasing the desirability of the site. The location is unmatched.
