Brimming with character and rebuilt from the ground up, this 1920s East Austin duplex blends vintage charm with bold modern spirit—a rare find that feels both architectural and deeply livable. The property lives as two distinct homes: a bright two-bedroom upstairs and a cozy one-bedroom below. The upper unit currently operates as a short-term rental and can convey fully furnished, offering a simple path for buyers who want to live in one and rent the other or operate both as income-producing spaces. Every inch has been reimagined: new electrical, plumbing, and ductwork; UV-filtered HVAC; a whole-home generator; and all-new Miele appliances. Original hardwood floors meet quartz counters and layered designer finishes, proving that practical upgrades and old-Austin soul can coexist beautifully. Outdoors, the gated property invites you in with a deck built for entertaining—complete with bar-top seating, firepit, and a custom welded dining table that conveys. Lush landscaping and off-street parking add ease, while alley access offers potential for additional parking. Located in one of the Eastside’s most walkable pockets—just a half-mile from Lady Bird Lake and steps from Launderette, Juniper, Le Barbecue, Buffalina, and Flat Track Coffee—96 Lynn delivers the best of Austin living. Bonus: CS-CO-MU-NP zoning with Substandard Lot flexibility allows for commercial or mixed-use development with up to 95% impervious cover, offering creative buyers long-term upside in a premier location. Whether you’re an Airbnb investor, house hacker, or simply someone who loves homes with history and vision, this East Austin gem offers design, flexibility, and future potential—all in one remarkable property.
