Let's cut to the chase: Do you have family members you'd like space from, but have to live with? Or do you have dreams of house-hacking and adding in long or short term rental units? This huge 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 3 living room home located near downtown Austin is probably a great fit for you! With three living and dining areas and a flexible layout, this single-story property offers endless possibilities. It could easily be split into up to three living quarters; 2/1, 2/1.5, and a 1/1. Perhaps a great floorplan for multi-generational living? Please note that the three potential units have not been fully separated, but are outlined in one of the attached floorplans as an idea; the potential for this should be verified by the buyer. The home is also equipped with fully paid off solar panels!
Whether you're looking for a spacious primary residence, a high-potential investment property, or the perfect Airbnb setup, this home delivers. The layout lends itself well to being divided into multiple units — ideal for hosting guests or maximizing rental income.
The home also has the convenience of downtown living without being too close to the chaos. It's rare to find this much square footage on one level in such a central location!
A great opportunity for homeowners, investors, or short-term rental hosts looking to take advantage of everything Austin has to offer.
