3001 Del Curto Rd Unit #10, Austin, TX 78704

A rare corner-lot gem in a boutique 78704 community, offering privacy, style, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. Set on the best lot in the neighborhood and backing to lush trees, this home feels tucked away while still being in the heart of 78704.

A charming foyer welcomes you inside before you step down into the main living space. Vaulted ceilings and expansive windows flood the space with natural light, creating an airy, modern feel. Unique touches are seen throughout the space with unique backsplash tile, custom drapes, and window coverings. A large pantry and mudroom with built-in cabinetry keep everyday essentials organized.

The home is really set apart by the professionally designed outdoor space, which extends the living space considerably. There is an extended deck connected to the dining and living room, and then you step down to a covered deck with an outdoor kitchen perfect for entertaining. The large turf backyard is perfectly designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. The oversized downstairs guest suite feels like its own retreat, complete with a recently updated ensuite bath. Upstairs, the primary suite features vaulted ceilings, an updated bathroom, and custom built-ins in the closet. Two additional spacious bedrooms sit on the same level, including one with a hidden reading nook perfect for kids. The walk-in laundry room is updated with custom cabinets and drying racks.

The finished garage adds even more functionality with epoxy floors and custom storage. Energy-efficient upgrades include solar panels, a tankless water heater, and spray-foam insulation. The HOA maintains both the front and backyard landscaping, keeping the property looking polished and low-maintenance year-round. Zoned to Zilker Elementary and walkable to South Lamar favorites like Loro, Matt’s El Rancho, Bird Bird Biscuit, and more. This home delivers the best of private, modern Austin living.

A corner lot in 78704 is the defining advantage here, and 3001 Del Curto Rd Unit #10 turns that into usable privacy within South Congress, a boutique community in Austin, Travis County. At $1.15M, or $460 per square foot, the numbers are competitive for a 2,501 square foot, 4 bedroom, 3 bath single family residence built in 2015, especially with a 0.1301 acre site, a 2 car garage, and Austin ISD zoning that includes Zilker Elementary, O Henry, and Austin High.

What separates this home from a standard attached-community offering is how much function has been built into the lot and floor plan. The setting backs to trees, which matters in a close-in location where privacy is often limited. Inside, the layout opens from the foyer into a main living area with vaulted ceilings and large windows, so the house reads bright and open rather than compressed. The finish selections are specific without being overstated, including distinct backsplash tile, custom drapes, and window coverings. Practical storage is also handled well, with a large pantry, a mudroom with built-in cabinetry, an updated walk-in laundry room with custom cabinets and drying racks, and a finished garage with epoxy floors and custom storage.

The outdoor buildout is a major part of the value. An extended deck connects directly to the living and dining areas, then steps down to a covered deck with an outdoor kitchen, creating multiple zones instead of a single patio. The turf backyard keeps maintenance low while preserving usable yard space. The downstairs guest suite has the scale and separation buyers want for visitors or multigenerational use, and its ensuite bath has been recently updated. Upstairs, the primary suite continues the vaulted volume, with an updated bath and custom closet built-ins, while two additional bedrooms keep the upper level functional for everyday living, including one with a hidden reading nook.

The efficiency package is also meaningful for long term ownership, with solar panels, a tankless water heater, and spray-foam insulation already in place. HOA maintenance of both front and back landscaping further reduces day-to-day upkeep. In market terms, this is a strong 78704 position: a newer home with real outdoor living, low-maintenance systems, Austin ISD school path, and walkable access to South Lamar spots like Loro, Matt’s El Rancho, and Bird Bird Biscuit, all of which support lasting utility and resale relevance.

South Congress is the only street in Austin where you can buy custom cowboy boots, eat handmade sushi at a ten-seat counter, and watch 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats take flight from a bridge - all within a half-mile walk. That density of experience makes this neighborhood different from every other part of the city. It is a real neighborhood where people live full lives, and the commercial strip at its center happens to be the most photographed street in Texas.

The corridor runs along Congress Avenue south of Lady Bird Lake, roughly from the bridge to Oltorf Street, with residential streets extending east and west. Downtown is a ten-minute walk across the Congress Avenue Bridge. The Texas Capitol is visible from the north end. Perla's does coastal seafood on a patio that becomes a scene on weekends. Home Slice Pizza has had a line since the day it opened. Aba serves Mediterranean with a rooftop view. June's All Day handles the all-day cafe role. Otoko is one of the most exclusive dining experiences in Texas. Magnolia Cafe remains a late-night institution. Jo's Coffee is where the famous mural lives, and Lenoir offers a prix fixe wine garden.

Craftsman bungalows from the 1920s through 1940s give the neighborhood its character, with front porches and mature pecan trees. Modern condominiums line the avenue itself. Contemporary townhomes fill spaces between. Bungalows on decent lots start around $700,000 and can exceed $1.5 million. Condos range from the mid-$400s to over $2 million for luxury high-rise units with downtown views. Lot sizes for single-family homes are small, often under a tenth of an acre, which keeps the density high and the walkability real.

Travis Heights Elementary serves many addresses and carries a loyal following among families wanting a diverse, walkable community. Fulmore Middle School and Travis High School are the secondary feeders. The schools are urban public schools in the truest sense: diverse student bodies, active parent organizations, and programs that benefit from a central location. Some families supplement with Austin Montessori and other private options nearby.

The street itself is a walking experience: vintage clothing, record shops, galleries, and restaurants on both sides of a wide sidewalk. Barton Springs Pool is a short walk west. Blunn Creek Greenbelt cuts through the residential streets. The Lady Bird Lake Boardwalk puts residents on the water trail system without driving. The Congress Avenue Bridge bat colony draws crowds March through October. Social energy peaks on weekend evenings when the avenue fills and patios at Perla's and Home Slice spill onto sidewalks.

South Congress is not directly comparable to suburban luxury neighborhoods because the product is fundamentally different. East Austin has more new construction and grittier energy. Travis Heights is quieter with larger lots. Rainey Street has been consumed by high-rises. South Congress maintains a balance between commercial energy and residential livability none of those can match. The bungalows have proven to be strong long-term holds.

South Congress is for buyers who want to live inside Austin's cultural heartbeat. It works for couples, creatives, and professionals who prioritize walkability and social energy over square footage. It works for investors who understand that a Craftsman bungalow on a South Congress side street is one of the scarcest asset classes in the city.
