About this property

Nestled in the heart of Bryker Woods, this beautifully updated 1952 home blends original character with modern comfort—just minutes from downtown Austin, UT, and Town Lake. Originally a 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage, the home has been thoughtfully expanded to include a spacious living and dining area, a second-floor bedroom suite, and a flexible mother-in-law suite added in 2021 that could serve as the primary bedroom or a short-term rental. Inside, the home showcases custom kitchen cabinets with full-length drawers, quartz countertops, a new tile backsplash, new oven and range hood, and freshly painted cabinetry in both the kitchen and laundry room. The kitchen flows into a light-filled living space with built-in bookshelves, a wood-burning fireplace, and new recessed lighting. Upstairs, the private bedroom and bath open to a versatile attic space—complete with three dormer windows and enough room to serve as a playroom, office, sewing area, or generous storage space. A small balcony off the upstairs bedroom offers a peaceful spot to enjoy the surrounding trees. Outdoors, enjoy a charming front porch with a view of the front garden and street, a large front yard with mature trees and garden beds, and a nicely sized backyard with a storage shed, driveway with space for a carport. Close to Postino, Kerbey Lane Cafe, Central Market, and Tiny Boxwoods, and zoned to Bryker Woods Elementary, this home offers the ideal Central Austin lifestyle—classic charm, thoughtful updates, energy efficiency, and endless flexibility in one of Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods.
