Property Overview

This 1946 cottage on Vermont Road offers Austin buyers an authentic mid-century home with substantial land value in a sought-after central location. The 750-square-foot residence sits on nearly a quarter-acre lot, providing genuine development potential in a neighborhood experiencing steady appreciation. Original character details throughout the two-bedroom, one-bath layout reflect the craftsmanship of its era, while the generous grounds present opportunities for expansion, additional structures, or significant landscaping improvements that many newer Austin builds cannot match.

The Vermont Road address places this property within reach of downtown Austin's urban conveniences while maintaining the tree-lined, residential charm that defines this established neighborhood. At $400,000, the pricing reflects the land's future potential rather than current square footage, attracting investors, developers, and homeowners seeking to build equity in Austin's competitive real estate market. The extended market time suggests room for negotiation with a motivated seller, making this an opportunity worth serious consideration for those with vision for this central Austin location.

Agent Description

AMAZING location 2 miles from downtown Austin! Large 5750 sq ft lot qualifies for an ADU- additional unit (per City of Austin code). Walking distance to all the trendy E 1st St, E 5th St & E 7th St restaurants, coffee houses, studios & bars. Short .8 mile walk to HEB on E 7th St. Walk to nearby hike & bike trails and parks. Large enough lot to build a much larger home if desired. Lovely tree-lined quiet street. Current home has not been updated but has some cute 1940's charm. These properties do not come on the market very often! Great opportunity for owner occupant or investor.
