THE PROPERTY
Get to know the property.
2003 Fair Oaks Drive—a beautiful, light-filled 3-bedroom South Austin home with the character of an established Austin neighborhood with the essential and expensive improvements already completed.

The big-ticket work has been done, giving the next owner the rare opportunity to move in, enjoy the home and have the peace of mind that comes with newer major systems.
Inside, an abundance of natural light pours through the large bay windows, filling the open living spaces with warmth. The remodeled kitchen feels fresh and inviting, with views out to the private, fenced backyard. Original personality and playful details preserve the home’s unmistakable Austin charm, while an incredibly functional laundry room with built-in cabinetry adds storage and everyday ease rarely found in homes of this era.
Outside, magnificent mature live oaks anchor the property. The large, private backyard offers room to gather, garden and play beneath the trees, while a detached shed is ready to become a studio, creative space, workshop or home office.
Everyday life here is easy. A neighborhood market is just around the corner for daily essentials, family-friendly parks are nearby, and Downtown Austin is approximately a 20-minute drive away.
