About This Property

Some houses have good bones. This one has great bones, a classic East Austin story, and a backyard that makes you want to pull up a chair and stay awhile. Tucked into Richland Estates, one of East Austin’s best-kept mid-century pockets, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home sits on a generous .34-acre lot backing to greenbelt. You’re in the Dog’s Head District, a distinct bend in the Colorado River where Lady Bird Lake, the hike-and-bike trail, downtown Austin, and ABIA are all close by. The “78742” zip code is having a moment, and this neighborhood is right in the middle of it. Inside, the home offers a great starting point for someone who appreciates vintage charm and can see the upside in the details that matter most. A classic brick fireplace, practical single-story layout, and warm mid-century character give the home an easy foundation to work with. The kitchen and baths are ready for a fresh chapter, but the footprint, setting, and sense of possibility are already here. Step outside and you’ll understand what this property is really about. The backyard is spacious, magical, and full of possibility, with an in-ground pool shaded by mature live oaks, an enclosed sunroom with a hot tub for year-round enjoyment, greenbelt views, and three barn-style storage sheds with room for tools, bikes, pool gear, or weekend projects. The setting already brings privacy, scale, and character people hope to find, giving the next owner something truly worth building around. This one is priced to reflect the opportunity, and the opportunity is real. A little sweat equity can go a long way here, because the neighborhood, the lot, the location, and that backyard are not going anywhere. Buyer to verify all info.
