Where else can you have over three quarters of an acre, build a guest house, a pool, keep chickens, host a short-term rental, AND walk to cafes, retail, grocery stores —all while being just 12 minutes from downtown Austin!? This is a truly distinctive property where character, flexibility, affordability, and income potential come together in one exceptional offering. Priced $200,000 below comparable homes on smaller lots, this is a rare opportunity to step into instant equity.

The character of this rare, post mid-century modern floor plan is nearly impossible to find. Designed with two spacious primary suites—ideal for multi-generational living— and paired with modern design elements that set it apart from today’s new construction. A dedicated game room evokes a nostalgic nod to a time when families gathered, unplugged, and played together. A tranquil sunroom in the upstairs primary suite creates a serene escape and connection to the outdoors.

The optional HOA provides access to an adorable community pool, tennis/pickleball, and basketball courts, all nestled alongside a park and wet weather creek that runs through the neighborhood. Granada Hills is a sought after, beloved neighborhood where homes stay in the family for generations and neighbors know one another. Built in the early 1970s on generously sized lots, thoughtfully designed to honor the surrounding landscape and the centuries-old Texas oaks.

Located just outside the city limits, the property enjoys a very low, 1.59% tax rate and no restrictions on short-term rentals. Zoned to Baldwin Elementary School, Gorzycki Middle School, and Bowie High School.

Literally seconds away from access to the NEW Oak Hill Parkway bypassing Oak Hill congestion and significantly reducing the commute time to downtown Austin to only 12 minutes. The new Parkway also directs 290 highway traffic below ground level, reducing the home’s exposure to 290 road noise for the first time. And you can leave the car at home, as the adjacent new walking/biking trail offers easy access to HEB, Ascension Seton SW Hospital and Scenic Brook Plaza with its brand new cafes, services and retail nearby.

This popular location is on the way to the gorgeous Texas hill country and the wedding capital of Texas, yet only 12 minutes to fabulous downtown Austin. A perfect location for a vacation short rental or mid term rental for traveling nurses and medical staff working at the nearby hospital.

With very low overhead, flexible use, and strong investment potential, this is a rare opportunity to create a peaceful retreat, income-producing property, or legacy family compound.
