On this stretch of the East Side, the city moves differently. Mornings start with a short walk to Bennu for coffee or a ride on the Red Line downtown. Evenings mean catching a game at UT’s baseball field, a last-minute show at the Moody Center, or grabbing tacos from El Xolo’s gas station window—a local favorite for good reason. Within a few blocks, you have your pick of Austin’s best: Michelin-recognized restaurants like Este, casual hangs at The Wheel, late-night pasta at Patrizzi’s, and the kind of meals at Birdie’s that linger in your mind for days. And when SXSW or ACL rolls around, you’ll be grateful to be this close without being in the thick of it. Then, there’s the house—a true standalone home (a rare find in this neighborhood) with no HOA and no back unit. Vaulted ceilings stretch overhead, while sunlight pours in from oversized windows, catching on the polished concrete floors. The open kitchen, dining, and living space isn’t just an afterthought—it’s the kind of layout that makes people want to stay a little longer, whether you’re hosting a dinner or just unwinding at the end of the day. The primary suite downstairs offers privacy, while the upstairs guest rooms and office space make it easy to separate work from everything else. Outside, the yard has been meticulously cared for with a burr oak, lime tree, and olive tree stand alongside thriving garden beds that have produced everything from tomatoes to okra well beyond the typical growing season. And for those thinking about long-term sustainability, solar panels and an EV charger in the garage are already in place. This isn’t just a home—it’s a connection to a part of Austin that’s constantly evolving, full of life, and impossible to replicate.
