Description
Introducing the Texas Blue Duplex — a rare opportunity to own a beautifully crafted, income-producing duplex in one of South Austin’s most desirable and tightly held neighborhoods. Duplexes simply do not come to market often in this hip, centrally located pocket of 78704. Set on an expansive 0.23-acre lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this property delivers exceptional flexibility for investors, multi-generational living, or buyers wanting to offset their mortgage by renting the other side. Originally built by Barbara Owens, a respected South Austin builder known for her vaulted ceilings and Mediterranean-inspired details, both residences (Side A & Side B) offer thoughtful layouts with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and private laundry rooms with washers & dryers. Equipped with Google Fiber. Proven rental income makes this a turn-key, high-performing investment. Inside, both units offer vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, LED recessed lighting, modern fans, and warm Saltillo tile floors. Updated kitchens feature open shelving, wood or quartz accents, statement vent hoods and generous workspaces. Bathrooms include modern vanities, upgraded fixtures, clean tile surrounds, and fresh finishes. Side A’s whitewashed stone fireplace and Side B’s walnut live-edge bar add striking architectural focal points. Outdoor living shines with private patios shaded by mature trees and surrounded by generous yard space — a luxury on a lot this size. The backyard offers endless possibilities: gardening, play areas, expanded outdoor living, or future enhancements. Located minutes from South Lamar favorites — Loro, Matt’s El Rancho, Black Sheep Lodge, Odd Duck, Torchy's Tacos, plus Zilker Park and Barton Springs — the Texas Blue Duplex blends lifestyle, location, and long-term value. Versatile, income-ready, and architecturally unique — a truly rare offering in one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
