This beautiful 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is full of character and modern updates. The spacious kitchen and sun-filled living areas make entertaining easy, while the large backyard—backing directly onto Sparky Park—offers a perfect spot for weekend hangs or quiet evenings outdoors.
Inside, you’ll find plenty of thoughtful upgrades over the past two years, including a new addition (expanding to 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), a new AC unit, updated hot water heater, new dishwasher, and new fridge. The home also comes partially furnished with dining room, living room, sunroom, and deck furniture, plus the convenience of an in-house washer and dryer.
Practical perks? Check. Alley-access parking in the rear of the lot, pets allowed, and both HEB and Central Market within walking distance. And when you’re hungry or ready for a night out, you’re just minutes from Austin favorites like Crown & Anchor Pub, Hopfields, Via 313, Flightpath Coffee, and Hole in the Wall.
