Where else can you have over three quarters of an acre, build a guest house, a pool, keep chickens, host a short-term rental, AND walk to cafes, retail, grocery stores -all while being just 12 minutes from downtown Austin!? This is a truly distinctive property where character, flexibility, affordability, and income potential come together in one exceptional offering. Priced $200,000 below comparable homes on smaller lots, this is a rare opportunity to step into instant equity. The character of this rare, post mid-century modern floor plan is nearly impossible to find. Designed with two spacious primary suites-ideal for multi-generational living- and paired with modern design elements that set it apart from today's new construction. A dedicated game room evokes a nostalgic nod to a time when families gathered, unplugged, and played together. A tranquil sunroom in the upstairs primary suite creates a serene escape and connection to the outdoors. The optional HOA provides access to an adorable community pool, tennis/pickleball, and basketball courts, alongside a park and wet weather creek. Granada Hills is a sought after, beloved neighborhood where homes stay in the family for generations. Built in the early 1970s on generously sized lots, and designed to honor the centuries-old Texas oaks. Located just outside the city limits, the property enjoys a low, 1.59% tax rate & no restrictions on short-term rentals. Zoned to Baldwin Elementary, Gorzycki Middle, and Bowie High School. Literally seconds away from access to the NEW Oak Hill Parkway bypassing Oak Hill congestion and significantly reducing the commute time to downtown Austin to only 12 minutes. The new Parkway also directs 290 highway traffic below ground level, reducing the home's exposure to 290 road noise for the first time. The new adjacent walking/biking trail offers easy access to HEB, Ascension Seton SW Hospital and Scenic Brook Plaza with its new cafes, services and retail nearby.
