Property Description

Perched at the top of a quiet hill in the heart of Austin's coveted River Oaks neighborhood, this charming 1962-built pink brick home offers an unbeatable blend of location, character, and potential. Just 6 minutes from downtown, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,323 sq ft residence sits in one of the most convenient pockets of the city—tucked away in an established residential enclave steps from the energy of central Austin.

Inside, the home is a time capsule of mid-century charm, ready for a full remodel that will allow its next owner to reimagine it for modern living. Classic chrome fixtures, original cabinetry, and vintage tile—including the beloved lemon yellow and powder blue hues so iconic of the era—bring a wave of nostalgia and unique personality to the bathrooms. The functional floor plan offers a solid foundation for updates, expansions, or creative redesigns.

Natural light filters throughout the home, illuminating the spacious living areas and highlighting the home's original character. A 2-car garage provides valuable storage and convenience, while the cozy backyard offers a covered patio ideal for morning coffee or shaded afternoons. With the home positioned at elevation, there is potential to capture views of the Austin skyline with the right design approach.

Whether you're an investor, renovator, or someone dreaming of transforming a classic home in a prime location, this property is a rare opportunity. Bring your vision and unlock the full potential of this mid-century gem.
