A Central Austin bungalow with personality, flexibility, and room to make it your own. Tucked into one of Austin’s most beloved central neighborhoods, 403 W 55th offers something increasingly hard to find: a home with genuine character. This charming house is anything but cookie-cutter, with original hardwood floors and the kind of details that give an older Austin home its own story. New roof as of September 2026!
Inside, the house has a versatile den that provides the perfect flex space for a home office, reading room, creative studio, or living area—whatever fits your life. Outside, the private backyard gives you room to spread out, whether that means morning coffee under the trees, dinner with friends, weekend gatherings, or dreaming up a future addition. There’s plenty of space and potential to create an outdoor living area that feels like your own private retreat.
And then there’s the location! You're walking distance to everything North Loop! Just minutes from the coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and indie businesses that make Hyde Park and North Loop so distinctly Austin. Grab coffee at Epoch or Barrett's, dinner at Foreign & Domestic or Home Slice, a cocktail at DrinkWell, or spend an afternoon exploring the eclectic vintage shops and local spots all along North Loop.
For buyers who want the charm of an Austin bungalow without sacrificing flexibility or proximity to the best of Central Austin, this one is worth a closer look. Original character, a flexible floor plan, a private backyard, and plenty of potential—all in a location that lets you live like a local!
