Location! Location! Rare opportunity in desirable Zilker, on one of Zilker's favorite blocks, one block from well-loved Zilker Elementary School and adjacent Little Zilker Park. Charming, updated two bedroom, one bath 840SF house with a 608SF accessory dwelling unit (that could be converted back into a one bedroom). Each unit has their own yard which could be joined fairly easily. Owner/agent has rented both units furnished month-to-month for years. Live or lease long term, live or lease now and...Location! Location! Rare opportunity in desirable Zilker, on one of Zilker's favorite blocks, one block from well-loved Zilker Elementary School and adjacent Little Zilker Park. Charming, updated two bedroom, one bath 840SF house with a 608SF accessory dwelling unit (that could be converted back into a one bedroom). Each unit has their own yard which could be joined fairly easily. Owner/agent has rented both units furnished month-to-month for years. Live or lease long term, live or lease now and build later, or build now. Charming front unit (updated 2010?) with metal roof, Hardie sheet siding, and tile flooring with an aim of keeping the property low maintenance. Also-updated back unit feels like a private getaway, calm and peaceful. Owner/Agent can't think of tenants who haven't been charmed by the fantastic location and neighbors. Reside in both units or generate rental income in one while living in the other. One block from a neighborhood-commercial zone which currently includes the long-established/loved Bluebonnet Market (great for coffee, snacks, wine, emergency supplies, etc.) and more recent Thoroughbread bakery. Austin gems Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park just down the hill. Also walkable to restaurants and services along both Barton Springs Rd. and S. Lamar. Easy access to all things in hip zip code 78704, Austin's Hike and Bike Trail, downtown Austin, Westlake, many grocery stores, and the airport. Flat, good-sized lot with shade-producing pecan tree between the two units. Both units need a a few updates (putting together a list shortly) but rarely will you find an opportunity like this where the units are so lovely for live and rent options. Furniture and existing supplies negotiable. Estimated taxes and tax rate to be confirmed by buyer.
