1712 W 10th St, Austin, TX 78703

A rare opportunity to live the Clarksville lifestyle. This exceptional location offers unmatched walkability. Beautiful tree-lined streets lead to many of Austin’s favorite dining & shopping spots including the Galaxy Cafe, Jeffrey’s, Josephine House, and Cipollina as well as Medici coffee shop, Fresh Plus Grocery and Sledd Nursery. Close to downtown and Lady Bird Lake. This home features 2 main level beds and two full baths and wood and concrete flooring. The Kitchen, complete with stainless appliances including a Thermador gas cooktop, opens to the living area.

In 2016 Webber+Studio Architecture designed the two-story 1,000 square foot contemporary addition. A stunning staircase leads to the upper level. This upper-level space with built-in desk and drawers is perfect for an office or an additional bedroom. The room features a glass window wall and a mini balcony with a view of the neighborhood. Clarksville is a NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT. The addition did not destroy significant historic, architectural, or cultural material. The design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material, and character of the property and the historic neighborhood.

The home’s exterior was caulked and painted in December. A new roof was installed in December as well. This is a rare opportunity to own a pristine home in Austin's coveted Clarksville neighborhood.

Location is the decisive advantage here. 1712 W 10th St sits in Clarksville in Austin's 78703, a central position that is hard to replicate and harder to replace over time. For buyers tracking close-in single family inventory, that matters as much as the house itself. This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath residence with 1,838 square feet on a 0.1393 acre lot, priced at $1.40M, or $761 per square foot, within Austin ISD and assigned to Mathews Elementary, O Henry, and Austin High.

The house was originally built in 1948, and the value story comes from how that original footprint has been expanded and maintained. A 2016 Webber+Studio Architecture addition introduced roughly 1,000 square feet of contemporary living space across two stories without disregarding the surrounding historic context described in the remarks. That addition appears to be the key differentiator in the layout, creating a more flexible upper level with built in storage, workspace potential, and a neighborhood-facing balcony. On the main level, two bedrooms and two full baths support practical day to day use, while the kitchen opens directly to the living area and includes stainless appliances and a Thermador gas cooktop. Wood and concrete flooring and a single fireplace add straightforward function and material contrast rather than unnecessary embellishment.

The surrounding lifestyle is also defined by specifics, not broad claims. The remarks point to walkability to Jeffrey's, Josephine House, Cipollina, Galaxy Cafe, Medici, Fresh Plus, and Sledd Nursery, with downtown Austin and Lady Bird Lake also close by. That pattern of access is what sophisticated in-town buyers usually pay for in 78703. It compresses daily routines, strengthens long-term desirability, and supports resale resilience even as housing cycles shift.

There are also practical ownership notes that matter. The exterior was caulked and painted in December, and the roof was replaced that same month. At 90 days on market, this is not a speculative offering that needs invented urgency. It is a close-in Austin single family home with architectural authorship, established school paths, and location leverage that should remain relevant to buyers who value land, access, and scarcity more than trend.

Clarksville is Austin's most walkable luxury neighborhood — a historic freedman's town founded in 1871, now in 78703, five minutes on foot from downtown. Median home price $2.2M. Austin ISD schools (Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle, Austin High). One of the only Austin neighborhoods where you can walk to fine dining, trails, and downtown without getting in a car.

The housing stock reflects 150 years of history. Original shotgun cottages and bungalows from the early 1900s sit alongside contemporary new builds and sensitive renovations on lots ranging from 0.1 to 0.25 acres. The neighborhood's historic designation (National Register) means you'll see period architecture preserved next to modern infill. Teardown lots trade at $800K-$1.5M for land alone.

West Lynn Street is the commercial spine — Medici coffee, Cipollina wood-fired pizza, Jeffrey's fine dining, Josephine House, and Bar Peached are all within a few blocks. Pease Park and Shoal Creek Trail border the east side. The Whole Foods flagship at 6th and Lamar is a 10-minute walk.

What makes Clarksville distinct: the combination of walkable daily life, historic character, and proximity to downtown that no other Austin neighborhood matches. The tradeoff is small lots, limited parking, and premium pricing for the location. Buyers here are paying for a lifestyle that doesn't require a car.
