This 1939 masonry home at 2101 Elton Ln in Tarrytown Place sits on 0.1696 acres and represents exactly what smart Austin buyers want: original character with functional modern living. Built during the Depression era when craftsmen still detailed their work, the house maintains its bones while owners have woven in updates that don't erase the past.

The layout flows across 2,674 square feet with four bedrooms, three full baths, and multiple living spaces that actually work for how people live now. A dedicated home office sits separate from the main rooms, critical for anyone managing work from Tarrytown's tree-lined streets. The primary suite features cathedral ceilings and a generous ensuite with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and separate shower. Natural woodwork throughout the interior and original architectural details remain visible because they were worth keeping. Granite counters and modern appliances blend into the spaces without announcing themselves.

Cathedral ceilings and built-in features give the home vertical interest and storage that newer construction rarely delivers at this price point. The study functions as a true fourth bedroom or dedicated workspace. Multiple dining areas and living zones mean the house handles both quiet mornings and full gatherings without feeling cramped.

Outside, the covered back porch opens to a private yard where three raised garden beds sit ready for vegetables or flowers. The lot depth provides room to expand outdoor entertaining space. A two-car garage handles vehicles and storage. The Tarrytown neighborhood itself connects directly to Austin's core: Lake Austin is minutes west, Mayfield Park and Reed Park are walkable, and downtown sits about fifteen minutes southeast. The Contemporary at Laguna Gloria and Lions Municipal Golf Course anchor the northern boundary.

The property falls within Austin ISD with Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle, and Austin High School serving the area. The Girl's School and Rawson Saunders also serve the neighborhood. Pricing at $617 per square foot reflects both the 1939 bones and the thoughtful restoration work already completed. This home appeals to buyers who understand that eighty-five years of character costs less than new construction but requires fewer compromises than typical mid-century homes that skipped the updates.

Tarrytown is a historic Central Austin neighborhood in 78703, five minutes from downtown and bordered by Lake Austin to the west. Median home price $1.95M. Austin ISD schools - Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle, Austin High - and walkability to Deep Eddy Pool, Lady Bird Lake, and Mayfield Park.

The housing stock spans nine decades. Original 1930s-60s colonials, Tudors, and ranch homes sit alongside new construction and gut renovations on lots ranging from 0.15 to 0.3 acres. Lakefront properties on Scenic Drive and streets near Lake Austin command $4M-$15M+. The neighborhood's character has been protected by an engaged neighborhood association and the McMansion Ordinance, which limits building scale.

Daily life here runs on the water and the schools. Morning laps at Deep Eddy Pool (68-degree spring-fed water year-round), school drop-off at Casis, coffee at Tarrytown Pharmacy or Summer Moon, dinner at Jeffrey's or Josephine House without leaving the neighborhood. The Contemporary at Laguna Gloria and Lions Municipal Golf Course are a walk or short bike ride away.

What makes Tarrytown distinct from other luxury Austin neighborhoods: genuine walkability, a 90-year-old neighborhood identity, and Central Austin access that Westlake and Barton Creek cannot match. The tradeoff is Austin ISD instead of Eanes, and smaller lots than you'd find west of MoPac.
