About This Home

Step out your front gate and you're in the heart of one of Austin's most storied pockets—the historic Guadalupe enclave tucked between the French Legation and the Texas State Cemetery, just blocks from downtown. This is a neighborhood where you can leave the car parked: stroll to Franklin Barbecue, the coffee shops and restaurants lining East 11th, the music venues and galleries of the East Side, with Whole Foods, the Capitol, and 6th Street all an easy walk (under 30 minutes to anywhere downtown!) or quick ride away. Surrounded by century-old homes, many with historic designations, and sitting directly across from Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, the setting carries a sense of place that simply can't be built new. The home itself, dating to 1919, opens to an airy kitchen anchored by a center island and breakfast bar with granite counters, flowing into a formal dining and living room made for gathering. A convenient half bath sits downstairs, while all the bedrooms retreat upstairs alongside a second living area and full bath. Outside, the yard is perfect for entertaining, secluded, quiet, and ready for easy grilling while friends sit in the shade. The xeriscaped yard requires no maintenance. Opportunities to own in this enclave seldom come around. Call your agent to schedule a showing today!
