ABOUT THIS HOME

Positioned along East Cesar Chavez, one of Austin's most dynamic commercial corridors, this property presents a compelling opportunity for investors, developers, and owner-users seeking a presence in East Austin's established dining, retail, and creative district. Surrounded by popular restaurants, neighborhood cafés, boutiques, and local businesses, the property offers proximity to downtown Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and the East Side's vibrant cultural scene. Set on approximately 0.17 acres, the existing bungalow offers a flexible duplex-style configuration with two distinct living areas, each featuring a kitchen, bedroom, private entrance, and rear access. Updated in 2021, the interiors include contemporary finishes, stainless steel appliances, and quartz countertops—an attractive starting point for an owner-user or adaptive-reuse concept. The expansive backyard, shaded by mature trees, creates possibilities for a landscaped courtyard, outdoor gathering space, or other complementary use, subject to approvals. Existing covered parking for three or more vehicles and a detached garage add utility and flexibility. With CS-MU-CO-NP mixed-use zoning, buyers can explore concepts such as boutique retail, creative offices, personal services, specialty food and beverage, or live-work use. The site may also appeal to purchasers evaluating longer-term redevelopment potential. All proposed uses, improvements, tree impacts, parking modifications, and redevelopment plans are subject to applicable zoning, conditional overlay provisions, and City of Austin approvals. Convenient access to CapMetro, Metz Park, Edward Rendon Sr. Park, Lady Bird Lake's hike-and-bike trails, and downtown Austin enhances the property's appeal. Whether held as an investment, repositioned for commercial occupancy, or evaluated for future development, this East Cesar Chavez address offers a distinctive opportunity in a highly sought-after urban location.
