A rare opportunity to get into the heart of Deep Eddy for under $1 million! Now offered at $989,000, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home delivers one of Austin’s most sought-after lifestyles in an incredibly convenient, close-in location just minutes from downtown. Thoughtfully updated and easy to maintain, this home is equally appealing as a primary residence, lock-and-leave Austin retreat, or investment opportunity. Hardwood floors, new Marvin windows throughout, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a flexible split-level floor plan make the home comfortable, functional, and move-in ready. The main-level primary bedroom offers privacy and convenience, while downstairs you’ll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated office/flex space ideal for working from home, guests, or additional living space. Outside, a private patio provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, dinner with friends, or an easy evening at home. Better yet, leave the car behind. Walk or bike to Deep Eddy Pool, Lady Bird Lake and the Hike-and-Bike Trail, Pool Burger, 68 Degrees, Deep Eddy Cabaret, and the new H-E-B, with Zilker Park, downtown Austin, and some of the city’s best dining and recreation just minutes away. For buyers seeking flexibility, the location and 3-bedroom layout also offer compelling investment and potential short-term rental appeal, subject to applicable City of Austin regulations and permitting. Located in the highly sought-after Casis Elementary attendance zone, opportunities at this price point in Deep Eddy are increasingly hard to find. At $989,000, this is a chance to own a move-in-ready home in one of central Austin’s most iconic neighborhoods — with the walkability, convenience, and lifestyle that make Deep Eddy so special.

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.
