Option 1: Primary Residence with Income Support
The main home is a thoughtfully expanded 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence featuring an open-concept living area with fireplace, two guest bedrooms on the main level, and a private upstairs primary suite spanning the entire second floor.

Also a fully renovated 1-bedroom 1-bath (~550 sq ft) upstairs apartment with full kitchen and established long-term tenancy on month-to-month terms. The main home and additional units have been utilized for both short-term and long-term rental income, offering diversified revenue streams in one of Austin’s most consistently in-demand rental corridors.
Significant system upgrades include spray foam insulation throughout both structures (2014), new roofs (2021), and high-efficiency windows on the main residence (2024), supporting long-term efficiency and reduced maintenance.
Located in one of Austin’s most walkable and high-demand neighborhoods, this property offers immediate usability, strong rental performance, and long-term appreciation potential without the typical constraints of nearby comparable properties.
