This single-family residence was built in 1942 and spans 2,538 square feet with 3 full baths, 1 half bath, and a floor plan that works for real life in 2026. The main house delivers the scale most buyers want in Central Austin, while the detached guest space gives you flexibility for visitors, live-in help, multigenerational living, or a true work-from-home setup that stays separate from the main living areas. That matters in a neighborhood where lot size and usable square footage drive long-term value as much as finish level.

Inside, the layout leans open without losing the character people expect from a classic Central Austin home. White oak floors, oversized steel windows, French doors, and a second living area with vaulted, beamed ceilings bring in natural light and create better separation between formal and casual space. The kitchen is positioned as the center of the house, with a slab backsplash, a waterfall peninsula, and a down-vent gas range that keeps sight lines open to the dining and outdoor areas. The fireplace adds another focal point, especially in the main living space.

The backyard is a major part of the appeal. A pool on a nearly 0.2-acre lot in Bryker Woods changes how the property lives day to day. There is room to entertain, grill, and actually use the yard, which is not a given this close to the urban core. From here, you have quick connections to North Lamar Boulevard and MoPac Expressway, plus easy access to Pease Park, Kingsbury Commons, and the Shoal Creek Greenbelt for running, biking, and weekend downtime.

For families focused on schools, the zoning is a real strength. The home is in Austin ISD with Casis Elementary, O Henry Middle School, and Austin High School. Those are recognizable campuses with lasting pull in the 78703 market. With only 1 day on market at $2.50 million, this is the kind of Central Austin address that supports both daily convenience and long-term staying power.

Bryker Woods is a 1930s-50s neighborhood in 78703, between West 29th and 38th streets, defined by front-porch bungalows, mature tree canopy, and walkability to the 35th Street dining corridor. Median home price $1.5M. Austin ISD schools — Bryker Woods Elementary is one of the few Austin campuses where every family walks.

The housing stock is almost entirely original bungalows and cottages on lots under a quarter acre. Some have been carefully updated, others are untouched. The Old West Austin National Register Historic District designation covers the area, which explains the cohesive streetscape. New construction exists but must work within the scale of the neighborhood. Lot values run $600K-$1M.

Daily life revolves around proximity. Kerbey Lane Cafe (open since 1980) and Central Market on North Lamar are walkable or a short bike ride. Shoal Creek Trail runs along the neighborhood edge. UT campus is a 15-minute bike ride — no parking pass needed. Tiny Boxwoods and Postino on 35th Street handle the dinner rotation.

What separates Bryker Woods from adjacent Tarrytown: smaller scale, lower price point, and a denser, more walkable feel. The lots are compact but the canopy makes them feel larger. This is a neighborhood for people who value community proximity over estate-level privacy.
