Property Overview

This charming 1950s cottage at 8318 Burrell Drive sits on a generous quarter-acre lot in the heart of Wooten Park, one of Austin's most desirable in-town neighborhoods. The home features 984 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms that blend original midcentury character with contemporary renovations. Refinished hardwood floors flow throughout, while the kitchen and bathrooms have been refreshed to meet modern expectations without sacrificing the home's vintage appeal.

The true standout is the outdoor space. A spacious rear deck overlooks a deep backyard anchored by mature shade trees, offering ample room for entertaining, relaxing, or future expansion. A detached two-car garage provides versatility, whether for vehicle storage, a workshop, or potential conversion project. At $455,000, the property offers strong value for the Wooten Park location and lot size, with walkable access to Wooten Neighborhood Park and proximity to the diverse dining and retail options along nearby Burnet Road.

Vox Real Estate Insight

The Vox Real Estate team sees this as an ideal entry point into Wooten Park for buyers seeking authenticity and outdoor space rather than square footage. With nearly 11,000 square feet of land and a recent financing hiccup clearing the way, this property presents solid potential for investors or families ready to build equity in one of Austin's most established neighborhoods.
