THE PROPERTY
Get to know the property.
Welcome to 5813 Gateshead Drive—an opportunity-packed single-story home in one of the most sought-after pockets of Austin’s beloved Cherry Creek neighborhood.
Set on an incredible 0.21-acre lot, this property truly stands out. Towering oak trees create a stunning natural canopy over both the front and backyard, offering shade, privacy, and endless potential. Whether you’re envisioning an ADU, cowboy pool, sauna, or a fully customized outdoor retreat, the flat, expansive yard is ready to bring your ideas to life.
Inside, the home features a highly desirable one-story layout with thoughtful separation of space. Two generously sized secondary bedrooms and a full bath sit on one side, while the primary suite and laundry area are privately positioned on the other, ideal for both everyday living and hosting guests.
The vaulted ceilings in the living room create an open and airy feel, while a large sunroom addition (not included in the square footage) provides even more space to relax, entertain, or create a bright home studio or playroom.
Functionality continues with a spacious laundry room and an enclosed, air-conditioned office space off the garage, perfect as-is or easily convertible into an expanded primary closet or a dream mudroom/laundry combo. A 2-car garage rounds out the practical features of the home.
With a fantastic layout and strong bones, this home is primed for cosmetic updates to match your personal style. Major systems have been thoughtfully maintained by the same owner for 56 years.
This is not just Cherry Creek, but one of its most desirable sections, just minutes from Central Market, El Alma, Amy’s Ice Creams, local movie theaters, JuiceLand, and all that the Westgate and South Lamar area has to offer.
A rare combination of lot, layout, and location, this is one you don’t want to miss.
