1714 Palma Plz, Austin, TX 78703

This eclectic Clarksville property was built with historic charm by Butler Brick Company in 1933 and expanded in 1998 with a modern addition designed by Austin architect Tom Hurt. The main living area features high ceilings, a brick wood-burning fireplace, original hardwood floors, a bar area, and many windows that flood the space with natural light. 2 bedrooms are located off the main hall; the spacious primary suite with a sitting/reading nook and a full updated bathroom, as well as a secondary bedroom with original hardwood floors, dual pane windows and a walk-in closet. In the hall you will also find a colorful original vintage tile bathroom, a storage closet and a music closet (for a record player and vinyl storage). As you walk through the dining room and kitchen you come to the modern addition of a great room with an all-glass back wall that brings the outdoors in. This second living area features high ceilings, concrete floors, custom steel bookshelves and tons of light. An added staircase takes you up to a 330 square foot loft area with room for another bed and/or a piano, reading nook, study room or yoga/gym area. Entertain in the xeriscaped back yard on the expansive Ipe wood decks next to the steel water wall feature, or dine under the pergola. Grounded by two incredible heritage live oak trees, the shaded yard shines with professional landscaping and steelwork in the front and back. Live on one of Austin’s most desirable streets in an unbeatable location. Walking distance to Fresh Plus, Josephine House, Medici Roasting, Jeffrey’s, Taco Flats, Galaxy Café, Cipollina, and many restaurants along W. 6th, as well as several parks, trails and Ladybird Lake.

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.
