Absolutely charming and move-in ready, this adorable mid-century home offers the perfect blend of period personality with tasteful modern updates!
You will fall in love with the inviting exterior with its bright window boxes, window awnings, fresh paint, and stain on the porches. The original wood front door opens onto a lovely entryway portico highlighted by the gleaming original wood flooring which continues throughout the bright living room, formal dining room and main floor bedroom.
The main level is rounded out by the very tastefully updated kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen offers a cool clean space to cook with generous cabinets, tile backsplash, two bright windows, and the side door offering quick access to the back paver patio and summer grilling!

The basement is unfinished and very usable space for storage, gym, etc., and includes a comfortable clean laundry space.
Outside you will enjoy a generous corner lot with pleasant and low maintenance landscaping. If you enjoy gardening, there are two raised garden beds waiting to be planted! Add in the paver patio and work bench in the garage, and you have ample opportunities to take advantage of outdoor activities and living.
The neighborhood is pleasant and quiet with a short walk to Skinners Hill, the Bandshell Community Park, baseball fields, the Cedar River, and Lafayette Park. A quick bike ride or drive brings you to all of the dining and shopping and amenities that Austin has to offer.
