THE PROPERTY

Get to know the property.

A meticulously maintained single-story home of this quality is extremely rare in East Austin. Tucked behind a private gated entry and set well back from the street, this detached 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence feels like a retreat, just minutes from downtown.

Inside, an open layout features high ceilings, 8-foot doors, and polished concrete floors throughout, with natural light filling the main living spaces. The kitchen includes quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into the living and dining areas. Both bathrooms offer lighted mirrors, and the primary suite features a beautiful walk-in shower and large walk-in closet.

Built with energy efficiency in mind, the home includes 2x6 wall construction, BIBS insulation, and a tankless water heater that keeps utility costs predictable. There are no HOA fees or shared expenses.

Recent updates make this one of the best move-in ready options you'll see on the market. The roof was replaced in April 2026 and fresh paint was completed throughout the same month. The professionally landscaped backyard is designed for low-maintenance Austin living, with custom turf and covered gutters rounding out a property that has been meticulously maintained from top to bottom.

Located in 78721, this location offers easy access to local coffee shops and restaurants, prioritizing walkability. The quick access to downtown Austin and major corridors is a huge plus. A single-story home in this condition, at this price, and in this location is the kind of opportunity buyers are waiting for.

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.

Mortgage payment calculator

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).
