A rare opportunity in the heart of Central Austin, this 1918-built, 2 bedroom, 1 bath home blends early 20th century craftsmanship with the timeless character that defines the Hyde Park/Hancock area. Vintage architectural details include hardwood floors, shiplap walls, beadboard ceilings, and wood double hung sash windows with their original weight and pulley mechanisms. The property still operates on 100-amp electrical service. The home also retains its double-parlor front entrances, a hallmark of early Victorian era design.

Set on a tree lined street with a lush, garden like feel, the property offers peaceful surroundings while remaining exceptionally walkable. Local favorites such as Hyde Park Bar & Grill, Quack’s 43rd Street Bakery, and Fresh Plus Grocery are just a short stroll away. The Hancock Golf Course and The University of Texas at Austin are also easily accessible.

A blend of architectural authenticity and Central Austin convenience, this property is ideal for anyone who values historic charm and the opportunity to personalize a classic home.
