Property Overview

This 1920 corner bungalow on 42nd Street represents rare Austin history in the heart of Hyde Park, where tree-lined streets and Victorian character define one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods. The 970-square-foot home features original architectural details that speak to its century-old craftsmanship—formal living and dining rooms frame classic proportions while a spacious kitchen anchors the layout. Two bedrooms and one bathroom rest within walls that have witnessed Austin's transformation from frontier town to modern city.

The nearly one-acre corner lot offers exceptional potential, with mature trees providing privacy and presence along the street. A welcoming front porch, covered carport, and driveway parking complete the exterior, while proximity to UT Campus and the neighborhood's thriving restaurant scene add daily convenience. Sold as-is, this property appeals equally to restoration enthusiasts and builders seeking to preserve Hyde Park's historic fabric or reimagine the space entirely.
