Just moments from Lee Elementary and within easy biking distance to UT, this prime location puts you at the center of it all: Hyde Park, with local coffee shops, and tree-lined streets that define the Austin lifestyle. Originally built in 1938 and fully re-imagined in 2018, this home has been transformed into a modern jewel box—thoughtfully designed for today’s lifestyle while remaining grounded in the timeless appeal of its location. This thoughtfully designed two-bedroom home with a separate office pod lives larger than its 1,336 square feet, offering a seamless two-story layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The open-concept main level centers around a chef-inspired kitchen featuring a full Bosch stainless steel appliance package, sleek quartz countertops, and a striking waterfall island -perfect for gathering, cooking, and hosting. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining and living areas, creating a bright, connected space. Engineered wood and tile flooring run throughout, adding warmth and durability with a clean, modern feel. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in shower and dual vanities. The secondary bedroom is conveniently located near a full bath, making it perfect for guests or family. A standout feature is the detached office pod, connected via one of the tiered decks,—an ideal work-from-home setup, creative studio, or quiet escape completely separate from the main house. Step down from here to the peaceful patio and enjoy your morning coffee. The oversized 357-square-foot garage with epoxy flooring provides incredible flexibility—use it as a gym, workshop, or additional storage. A rare opportunity to own a versatile, move-in-ready home in one of Austin’s most beloved central neighborhoods. Buyer to verify all information.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
East Austin is the only neighborhood in the city where you can walk from a James Beard Award-winning restaurant to a converted warehouse gallery to a live music venue to a craft cocktail bar without ever getting in your car. That walkability, combined with a building boom that has reshaped the housing stock over the past decade, makes East Austin the most dynamic real estate market in Central Texas. East Austin stretches from I-35 on the west to Highway 183 on the east, with Lady Bird Lake forming the southern boundary and roughly MLK Boulevard marking the northern edge of the 78702 core. The 78722 zip extends the identity further north and east. Downtown is immediately across I-35 - five minutes by car, 15 by bicycle. East Cesar Chavez, East 6th, and East 7th serve as commercial corridors, each with its own personality. East Cesar Chavez leans toward taquerias and family shops, East 6th trends cocktail bars and restaurants, East 7th mixes galleries with newer retail. Modern townhomes and duplexes make up about 35% of sales activity, concentrated on infill lots. Original shotgun bungalows and Craftsman homes account for 25%, mostly on quieter streets east of Chicon - typically 800 to 1,200 square feet on generous lots with ADU potential. Contemporary custom homes represent 15%, with architects like Bercy Chen and Alterstudio producing some of the most interesting residential design in Texas. Unrenovated bungalows start in the mid-$400s. Renovated historic homes with ADUs land between $700,000 and $1 million. New townhomes cluster around $600,000 to $900,000. Custom builds cross $1.5 million. East Austin falls within Austin ISD. Zavala Elementary and Blackshear Elementary handle early grades. Martin and Kealing Middle Schools are the primary options, with Kealing's magnet program drawing students districtwide. Eastside Memorial High School serves the area, though many families opt for LASA, private schools, or open-enrollment options. The school landscape is more complex than in neighborhoods with a single feeder pattern, and specific addresses matter. The lifestyle is what people picture when they think of modern Austin. Morning starts at Cenote or Fleet Coffee. Franklin Barbecue's line forms early, but locals order ahead. The dining concentration is remarkable. Suerte does modern Mexican with in-house nixtamal. Nixta Taqueria won a James Beard Award. Launderette turns a converted laundromat into one of Austin's best brunch spots. Canje brings Caribbean cooking to Holly Street. Kemuri Tatsu-Ya fuses izakaya with smokehouse. Via 313 has been making Detroit-style pizza since before the current boom. The Butler Trail, Boggy Creek Greenbelt, Roy Guerrero Park, and Mueller Lake Park provide outdoor options. East Austin offers urban density and walkability unmatched outside downtown, at prices that undercut the west side significantly. Compared to South Congress, it provides more housing variety and better value per square foot. Compared to Mueller, it trades master-planned orderliness for more character. The main concerns are the pace of change and the east-west infrastructure divide, which has narrowed but still shows in some areas. East Austin is for buyers who want to live in Austin's cultural energy rather than commute to it. It fits people who eat out frequently, bike to work, and value diversity of experience. It works for investors who see ADU potential in the generous lots. If you need a large lot, a quiet cul-de-sac, or a top suburban school, look elsewhere. But if you want to walk out your front door and feel the pulse of what makes Austin different from every other Texas city, there is no better address.
