Property Description
Charming North Austin Two-Flat This classic yellow brick two-flat in the heart of the North Austin neighborhood presents a fantastic opportunity for both investors and owner-occupants. Each of the two units offers a spacious layout with three bedrooms and one full bathroom, providing ample space for comfortable living. Inside, you'll find classic details like built-in hutches and charming artificial fireplaces that add character. Hardwood floors run throughout, lending warmth and timeless appeal. The finished basement, which has both front and rear entrances, offers a full bathroom and has the potential to be a separate in-law apartment with a little updating. Outside, the property includes a two-car garage and a fully fenced yard, making it perfect for private parking and outdoor gatherings. This home has a fully replaced roof as of 2023 and needs some tender loving care (TLC) but has immense potential for sweat equity. Located near public transportation, local shops, and entertainment, this property is a versatile addition to any portfolio or a great home with income-generating potential.
