Property Overview
Perched on a generous corner lot in South Lamar's vibrant Bouldin neighborhood, 2300 3rd Street presents a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully reimagined 1939 home with contemporary bones and character to spare. The main residence showcases an open floor plan anchored by soaring vaulted ceilings and abundant windows that flood the three-bedroom, two-bath interior with natural light. A covered front porch invites morning reflection before heading to nearby Restaurant Row or Zilker Park, both within minutes of this South Lamar location.
The property's true appeal extends beyond the main house. A detached guest house complete with kitchenette and full bathroom opens possibilities for rental income, multigenerational living, or creative studio space, while a two-car detached garage and expansive 9,112-square-foot lot provide the breathing room increasingly rare in central Austin. The gated driveway and mature landscaping create a private retreat despite proximity to the neighborhood's eclectic dining, shopping, and vibrant nightlife scene. This South Austin property sits at the intersection of walkable urban convenience and residential tranquility.
Vox Real Estate Insight
While this home carries a 21% premium above the South Lamar median price per square foot, the combination of additional guest house square footage, double-lot potential, and the neighborhood's continued appreciation trajectory presents compelling value for buyers seeking established Bouldin charm. At Vox Real Estate, we recognize that properties with distinctive secondary structures in this submarket rarely surface, making this South Lamar listing a noteworthy opportunity despite its 494 days on market.
Agent Description

A detached guest house with a kitchenette and full bathroom has a Keep-Austin-Weird-Peacocks-Are-Welcome feel that Bouldin has long been known for. The gated driveway leads past the main house and the guest house to a detached two car garage and there is plenty of room in the yard for playing catch, raising a garden and for pets to roam.
