1723 E 38th St

In Cherrywood, one of Central Austin's most walkable neighborhoods, this 1940s bungalow sits under mature shade trees on a 7,166-square-foot (0.1645-acre) lot. The same owner cared for it for 20 years. The original cinder block construction, rare in Austin, gives it good insulation and a solid quiet you rarely find in newer builds. Original hardwood floors run through the house, and the kitchen and bath have been updated. Two bedrooms and one full bath make up the 871-square-foot interior. Outside, a wraparound deck extends the living space into a private, tree-shaded backyard, and the detached garage works as a workshop, studio, home gym or creative space. The lot is also a development opportunity in 78722, whether to expand, reimagine or redevelop, with rental appeal for long-term investors. Cherrywood is minutes from UT, Mueller's parks and shopping, downtown Austin and public transit, with Este, Salty Sow, Civil Goat, Supreme Pizza, Haymaker and The Long Goodbye nearby.
