Property Description
Opportunity is knocking-and it's bringing options. Set on a sprawling 0.23-acre SF-3 lot in one of East MLK's most exciting pockets, this property offers incredible flexibility for investors, builders, or anyone looking to create something special. Tear down and build up to three units, design a custom single-family showpiece, or renovate the existing home and add an ADU to maximize value with a condo regime-this is the kind of canvas that doesn't come around often. Tucked away yet right in the middle of it all, you're just minutes from major corridors like 183 and I-35, plus easy access to UT, Downtown Austin, and Mueller. Spend your mornings grabbing coffee at Palomino Coffee, afternoons teeing off at Morris Williams Golf Course, and evenings enjoying local favorites like Southern Heights Brewing or the vibrant scene at Springdale General. With nearby trails, parks, and hotspots, this location delivers both lifestyle and long-term upside. Surrounded by a blend of classic Austin homes and thoughtful new development, the area continues to see strong demand fueled by convenience, walkability, and undeniable charm. Whether you're building, holding, or reimagining, this is an investment that actually makes sense. Property is being sold as-is. Buyer to verify all information and conduct any inspections deemed necessary.
