About this home
An original 78751 bungalow with a garage apartment built in 2021 is already rare. Finding one that actually feels right, lives well, and sits minutes from Mueller and downtown Austin is even rarer. Walkable to North Loop, this home puts you minutes from some of Austin’s most loved spots, from Home Slice, Jewboy Burgers, Rose Gose, and Kome; to local bars, vintage stores, and everyday favorites that make this area so easy to live in. The main house keeps its character intact with several updates that bring a more modern edge. The living room is anchored by wood flooring, crown molding, and a ceiling fan, with large windows that bring in steady natural light throughout the day. It’s comfortable and genuinely inviting. The dining area and kitchen sit together, making everyday living easy. Tile countertops, a stainless gas range, and generous cabinet storage give the kitchen personality and practicality. Both bedrooms are well sized with great light and flexible layouts that allow for personalization over time. The renovated bathroom is a standout update, finished with a soaking tub, a walk in shower, and a vanity that feels intentional and well chosen. The backyard is layered and thoughtfully laid out, with native landscaping, beautiful foliage, and paths that guide you through the space. A fire pit area sits in the center the yard, creating a natural gathering spot. At the back of the property, the garage apartment adds real versatility. Built in 2021, it includes a spacious living area, a well designed kitchen, and a bedroom area with a walk-in closet and a beautiful bathroom. It’s ideal for rental income, long term guests, or multigenerational living while still preserving privacy for the main home. For someone looking to live close to the center of Austin, or for a buyer who wants flexibility and long term upside in a location that consistently performs, this property checks boxes that rarely show up together. It’s cool, it’s smart, and it feels like Austin should.
