This is the rare North Austin opportunity that pairs 1970s character with 2025 infrastructure. Perched above the Walnut Creek greenbelt on a generous 0.23-acre lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers the privacy of a retreat with the connectivity of a downtown condo. While the aesthetic delivers the mid-century ranch vibe, the capital improvements provide the peace of mind investors demand. The current owners have future-proofed the asset with a brand new roof, a new high-efficiency HVAC system, and a complete plumbing overhaul, including the critical replacement of the cast-iron pipe to the street, eliminating the most common and costly risks of vintage homeownership. The 1,681 square foot floor plan is anchored by a functional layout that extends into a light-filled 4-season sunroom. Not included in the square footage, this versatile bonus space acts as a flexible home office or lounge. Outside, the backyard backs directly to the greenbelt buffer, creating a secluded sanctuary. The location is strategic for the modern lifestyle, sitting just minutes from the Brewery District fixtures like Hopsquad, match days at Q2 Stadium, and the high-end retail of The Domain. With rapid access to the Tech Corridor, this property is perfectly positioned for both immediate quality of life and long-term appreciation. Smart money buys the systems; the heart buys the vibe. This home delivers both.
