Nestled in the heart of Bryker Woods, this beautifully updated 1952 home blends original character with modern comfort-just minutes from downtown Austin, UT, and Town Lake. Originally a 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage, the home has been thoughtfully expanded to include a spacious living and dining area, a second-floor bedroom suite, and a flexible mother-in-law suite added in 2021 that could serve as the primary bedroom or a short-term rental. Inside, the home showcases custom kitchen cabinets with full-length drawers, quartz countertops, a new tile backsplash, new oven and range hood, and freshly painted cabinetry in both the kitchen and laundry room. The kitchen flows into a light-filled living space with built-in bookshelves, a wood-burning fireplace, and new recessed lighting. Upstairs, the private bedroom and bath open to a versatile attic space-complete with three dormer windows and enough room to serve as a playroom, office, sewing area, or generous storage space. A small balcony off the upstairs bedroom offers a peaceful spot to enjoy the surrounding trees. Outdoors, enjoy a charming front porch with a view of the front garden and street, a large front yard with mature trees and garden beds, and a nicely sized backyard with a storage shed, driveway with space for a carport. Close to Postino, Kerbey Lane Cafe, Central Market, and Tiny Boxwoods, and zoned to Bryker Woods Elementary, this home offers the ideal Central Austin lifestyle-classic charm, thoughtful updates, energy efficiency, and endless flexibility in one of Austin's most desirable neighborhoods.
