THE PROPERTY

Get to know the property.

Two homes, one lot, one of Austin's most enduring addresses. Two fully independent homes on a single 0.288-acre lot in Oakmont Heights, situated within the Bryker Woods, O. Henry, and Austin High School feeder pattern. The main residence is a single-story 1947 ranch-style home with 1,708 square feet (per TCAD), three bedrooms, two full baths, and HardiPlank exterior construction. Recently refinished original hardwood floors run throughout. A covered rear porch opens to a wood-fenced backyard of notable depth, uncommon for the area, and a rare find at this price point in Central Austin.

The main residence has been thoughtfully maintained. Updates completed approximately 13 years ago include new windows, doors, and renovated bathrooms and kitchen. The roof was replaced five years ago, offering a buyer meaningful capital improvements already in place.

The second home — a detached, fully independent 500-square-foot (per TCAD) residence with one bedroom, one bath, and a kitchen — sits at the rear of the lot with its own entrance and alley access. An oversized garage with workshop space completes the alley-accessed structures. Both homes have a demonstrated rental history.

The configuration supports a range of uses: lease both homes for dual income, occupy the main residence and lease the second, or use the detached structure as a mother-in-law suite, caregiver residence, home office, or art studio. Few properties at this address offer this degree of flexibility.

The location adds further depth. The Grove, with its restaurants and retail, is minutes away. Central Market, Ascension Seton Medical Center, and MoPac are all within easy reach, and the walkable surroundings place everyday conveniences within a short distance of the front door.

The lot's scale, the dual income-producing structures, and the address make this a substantive holding in one of Central Austin's most consistently sought neighborhoods.

Annual insurance starts at purchase price × 0.25%, rounded to the nearest available amount. Updates with purchase price until you choose another amount.A planning estimate, not an insurance quote. Adjust it for your property and coverage.

Percentages are editable examples, not ERA fee quotes. Management is applied to rent after vacancy; maintenance and capital reserves use scheduled rent. Add owner-paid utilities, mortgage insurance and other recurring expenses under other costs.

How this scenario is calculated

Annual operating income is rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA and other operating costs, before financing and capital reserves. Cap rate divides annual operating income by purchase price. Estimated monthly cash flow assumes an all-cash purchase: rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA, other operating costs and capital reserves. No mortgage payment is deducted. The mortgage calculator is separate; loan payments would reduce cash flow for a financed purchase. One-time acquisition costs, renovations, income taxes, depreciation and appreciation are excluded.

Explore financing separately. These loan settings do not change the all-cash investor outlook.

Mortgage assumptions

20% down and 7% interest are illustrative starting values.

Estimated monthly principal & interestLoan payment only. Excludes property taxes, homeowners/flood insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues.

About this payment estimate

Based on a fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan with monthly payments and the price, down payment, interest rate and term you select. The interest rate is an example, not a current rate offer or APR; APR includes certain loan costs. This is an illustration, not a Loan Estimate, approval, offer of credit or commitment to lend.

Your actual payment, rate and eligibility depend on your lender, credit, loan program and property. Closing costs, points, prepaid expenses and lender fees are not included. Taxes and insurance may change, and mortgage insurance may be required, particularly with a down payment below 20%. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate and a complete monthly payment including applicable taxes, insurance and fees.

Dollar results are rounded to the nearest cent; calculations retain precision until display. A cash purchase has no loan payment but still has ownership costs. Understand your total home payment (CFPB).
