BRThoughtfully designed and custom-built by its original owner, this distinctive East Austin residence pairs modern architecture with forward-thinking sustainability.

Set on a spacious lot with alley access, the property offers the flexibility to expand or add an ADU (buyer to verify), creating exceptional long-term value in the heart of East Austin. Recent seller improvements include an HVAC system, fresh interior and exterior paint, deck repairs and refinishing, exterior window resealing, sliding door repair, updated plumbing fixtures, repaired shower tile, door adjustments, and additional maintenance completed following a pre-listing inspection. This is a home where exceptional construction, intentional design, and an irreplaceable location come together.
