Property Overview

This 1930 architectural gem at 812 10th Street captures the essence of downtown Austin living, offering rare character and uncompromising walkability in the heart of the city. Perched on a quarter-acre lot mere blocks from the Texas Capitol, Pease Park, and the Shoal Creek Trail, the home presents four bedrooms and two bathrooms across 2,782 square feet of thoughtfully preserved spaces. Original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, stained glass details, and handcrafted millwork throughout reveal the craftsmanship of a bygone era that modern construction rarely replicates.

The flexible floor plan accommodates both family living and entertaining, with multiple gathering spaces, abundant storage, and built-in bookcases that anchor rooms with warmth. A vintage-inspired kitchen opens to the private backyard sanctuary, while the expansive front porch invites morning coffee overlooking the bustling downtown Austin neighborhood. High windows frame views of the surrounding urban landscape and flood interiors with natural light.

Located steps from Congress Avenue's eclectic dining scene, walkable to 6th Street entertainment, and connected to Lady Bird Lake's outdoor recreation, this property bridges historical significance with contemporary convenience at $719 per square foot.
