Property Description
Located just off vibrant South 1st Street, 2609 South 3rd offers a rare opportunity in the heart of South Austin. Built in 1947, this charming 1,176-square-foot bungalow sits on a 0.18-acre lot under a canopy of mature trees—an ideal setting for investors, builders, or buyers looking to reimagine or expand.
The home's current layout features two bedrooms, one updated full bath, and flexible living spaces that feel light-filled and inviting. Thoughtful updates include an improved kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry, blending seamlessly with the home's vintage charm. A spacious living room and dining area highlight wood-style flooring, unique built-ins, and a series of windows that bring the outdoors in.
The lot offers ample front outdoor space shaded by heritage oaks, creating a peaceful, low-maintenance setting with room for gathering or expansion. Set toward the rear of the property, the home maximizes the usable outdoor footprint at the front, offering creative possibilities for further personalization.
Located just minutes from downtown Austin, Zilker Park, and the best of South Congress and South 1st dining, shopping, and entertainment, this property offers a coveted South Austin lifestyle—and outstanding potential for redevelopment or investment.
