Single Family Residence for sale in Cedar Valley
Overview
Property Description
Super cute and freshly updated three-bedroom, one-bath home with hardwood floors and a separate home office or family room, perfectly pairs downtown proximity and indoor/outdoor livability with incredible long-term investment potential. Beautifully revitalized living space has a brand-new roof, new rain gutters, and fresh interior paint making this an ideal, low-maintenance haven for busy professionals. Beautiful new rear deck extends your living space outdoors as the perfect setup for weekend hangouts or working from home in the fresh air. Large 0.148-acre lot is a private, fully fenced oasis featuring sustainable native landscaping alongside mature, producing pear, plum, and fig trees. For the growth-minded buyer, the deep backyard offers a stellar footprint to eventually build a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) as a passive income investment or a multi-generational compound. While the spacious lot stands out as an exceptional development opportunity, buyers must perform their own independent due diligence regarding city zoning codes, utility connections, tree preservation rules, and permitting requirements to verify feasibility. Location is everything, and this property puts you right in the center of it all. Tucked in the Cedar Valley neighborhood just off MLK and Springdale Road, you are minutes from downtown Austin and seamlessly connected to major transit corridors. Enjoy an easy commute alongside instant access to Mueller and the Sunday farmer’s market, Alamo Drafthouse, the Thinkery, local dining, and nightlife. For outdoor fun, Springdale Park, Givens District Park, and Morris Williams Golf Course are just down the street. Rounding out this prime location are neighborhood staples like Palomino Coffee’s plant-shop vibe and the Michelin-starred Micklethwait Craft Meats. Calling all forward-thinking young professionals, lifestyle-focused buyers, and strategic investors looking to plant roots in one of East Austin’s most dynamic zip codes – Welcome Home!
