Old Austin Character, Tucked Behind a Gated Drive.

Tucked behind a gated entrance in Austin's Govalle neighborhood, this 1947 home measures approximately 684 square feet and sits on a substantial 7,035-square-foot lot, roughly 50 feet of frontage and 145 feet of depth. The home is full of old Austin character — original details, wood floors, and a floor plan that still feels like 1947.

 

A long gated drive runs alongside the home and opens into an expansive rear portion of the lot, creating an unusual amount of usable outdoor space this close to the heart of the city. There's room to garden, entertain, create, park, work — and simply breathe.

Opportunity isn't Measured in Square Feet.

 

The lot dimensions and current home placement may create compelling possibilities beyond the existing footprint — expansion, an accessory dwelling unit, a live-work setup, or income-producing use.

 

Previously used as an office, the existing home offers flexibility for an owner-occupant, an investor, or a buyer working toward a hybrid of home, workspace, and future value strategy.

Govalle, East Austin.

Govalle is an established East Austin neighborhood where original homes coexist with modern construction, studios, galleries, and creative spaces. It's a place with an interesting mix of long-time character and a significant, growing arts and creative presence.

 

Convenient access to Downtown, Airport Blvd, US-183, and I-35 puts the rest of the city within easy reach — without giving up the quiet of a gated, tree-lined lot.
