1109 Angelina St, Austin, TX 78702

Eastside walkability meets custom modern warmth built with entertaining in mind. Custom elements include reclaimed wood ceilings, hand-wrought terra cotta backsplash, and butcher block counters. The glass-paneled NanaWall effortlessly folds like an accordion to flow into the back deck and the spacious, terraced backyard. Dual primary suites adorn opposite ends of the home for maximum privacy, and a Charleston-inspired sun room is perfect for your office space upstairs. 150 inch pop-down projector screen, rooftop solar panels, motorized retractable awning, large lot, 1-car garage, Downtown balcony views, and a SECRET vibey room w/ wine fridge make this home completely different from the competition. No more cold white boxes! Live your story in a warm, modern, urban home that combines a thoughtful floor plan, tasteful elements, and vibrant character that’s walkable to all the great places that East 11th St. and East 6th St. have to offer.

At 1109 Angelina Street in the East Austin neighborhood of East Austin, you're looking at a 2,005-square-foot home that treats entertaining and livability as equal design priorities. Built in 2014 on a 0.1584-acre lot in the Austin ISD zone, this three-bedroom residence sits at $1.30M ($647 per square foot) and offers something genuinely rare in the current Austin market: intentional architectural decisions that reject the minimalist white-box aesthetic flooding the region.

The home's design philosophy centers on materiality and warmth. Reclaimed wood runs across the ceilings, creating visual continuity that grounds the open floor plan. Hand-wrought terra cotta backsplash and butcher block countertops anchor the kitchen in texture and craft. These aren't trendy finishes - they're materials selected to age visibly, to tell a story over time. Concrete and wood flooring work together to define zones without walls, letting sight lines flow naturally through the entertaining spaces.

The NanaWall system is the functional centerpiece. This accordion-style glass partition unfolds completely, erasing the boundary between interior and rear terraced yard. During mild Austin weather - which comprises most of the year - the distinction between inside and outside space vanishes. The motorized retractable awning controls sun exposure on the rear deck, a thoughtful detail that makes the outdoor living area functional year-round.

Dual primary suites positioned at opposite ends deliver genuine privacy in a home designed for connection. The upstairs Charleston-inspired sun room works as office or creative studio space. A wine refrigerator, 150-inch pop-down projector screen, and what the previous owner terms a "vibey room" suggest this home anticipates how modern Austin residents actually live - mixing work, rest, entertainment, and curation of personal space.

Location amplifies the property's character. Angelina Street sits minutes from East 11th Street and East 6th Street, the most walkable, restaurant-dense corridors in Central Austin. Blackshear Elementary, Kealing Middle School, and Eastside Early College High School anchor the Austin ISD footprint. Rooftop solar panels address both utility costs and long-term value retention in a city increasingly focused on energy efficiency.

This home works for buyers who see architecture as a reflection of how they want to live - not as a backdrop to their stuff, but as an active participant in daily experience. The specificity of materials, the flow of the layout, and the entertainment-forward design suggest an owner who thought carefully about use before aesthetics took priority.

East Austin is the only neighborhood in the city where you can walk from a James Beard Award-winning restaurant to a converted warehouse gallery to a live music venue to a craft cocktail bar without ever getting in your car. That walkability, combined with a building boom that has reshaped the housing stock over the past decade, makes East Austin the most dynamic real estate market in Central Texas.

East Austin stretches from I-35 on the west to Highway 183 on the east, with Lady Bird Lake forming the southern boundary and roughly MLK Boulevard marking the northern edge of the 78702 core. The 78722 zip extends the identity further north and east. Downtown is immediately across I-35 - five minutes by car, 15 by bicycle. East Cesar Chavez, East 6th, and East 7th serve as commercial corridors, each with its own personality. East Cesar Chavez leans toward taquerias and family shops, East 6th trends cocktail bars and restaurants, East 7th mixes galleries with newer retail.

Modern townhomes and duplexes make up about 35% of sales activity, concentrated on infill lots. Original shotgun bungalows and Craftsman homes account for 25%, mostly on quieter streets east of Chicon - typically 800 to 1,200 square feet on generous lots with ADU potential. Contemporary custom homes represent 15%, with architects like Bercy Chen and Alterstudio producing some of the most interesting residential design in Texas. Unrenovated bungalows start in the mid-$400s. Renovated historic homes with ADUs land between $700,000 and $1 million. New townhomes cluster around $600,000 to $900,000. Custom builds cross $1.5 million.

East Austin falls within Austin ISD. Zavala Elementary and Blackshear Elementary handle early grades. Martin and Kealing Middle Schools are the primary options, with Kealing's magnet program drawing students districtwide. Eastside Memorial High School serves the area, though many families opt for LASA, private schools, or open-enrollment options. The school landscape is more complex than in neighborhoods with a single feeder pattern, and specific addresses matter.

The lifestyle is what people picture when they think of modern Austin. Morning starts at Cenote or Fleet Coffee. Franklin Barbecue's line forms early, but locals order ahead. The dining concentration is remarkable. Suerte does modern Mexican with in-house nixtamal. Nixta Taqueria won a James Beard Award. Launderette turns a converted laundromat into one of Austin's best brunch spots. Canje brings Caribbean cooking to Holly Street. Kemuri Tatsu-Ya fuses izakaya with smokehouse. Via 313 has been making Detroit-style pizza since before the current boom. The Butler Trail, Boggy Creek Greenbelt, Roy Guerrero Park, and Mueller Lake Park provide outdoor options.

East Austin offers urban density and walkability unmatched outside downtown, at prices that undercut the west side significantly. Compared to South Congress, it provides more housing variety and better value per square foot. Compared to Mueller, it trades master-planned orderliness for more character. The main concerns are the pace of change and the east-west infrastructure divide, which has narrowed but still shows in some areas.

East Austin is for buyers who want to live in Austin's cultural energy rather than commute to it. It fits people who eat out frequently, bike to work, and value diversity of experience. It works for investors who see ADU potential in the generous lots. If you need a large lot, a quiet cul-de-sac, or a top suburban school, look elsewhere. But if you want to walk out your front door and feel the pulse of what makes Austin different from every other Texas city, there is no better address.
