A Standout Duplex Opportunity in South Austin’s 78745! Here’s the kind of investment that gets interesting fast: a duplex in the heart of 78745, in an established neighborhood where location does a lot of the heavy lifting. Both 2-bed/1.5-bath units are currently leased month-to-month, making this a ready-to-go rental play - or a chance to live in one side while the other helps knock down your mortgage. Each two-story unit offers two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, with living and dining areas, kitchen, laundry, and a half bath downstairs. Both have a private fenced yard with patio, one garage space, driveway parking, and outdoor storage. No fancy bells and whistles here, just the kind of layout renters actually want, in a location that keeps people anchored. The duplex was refreshed in 2021 with Hardi-plank siding and interior and exterior paint. Unit B received the bigger makeover, including quartz counters in the kitchen and baths, subway tile backsplash, updated fixtures, hardware and toilets, making it move-in ready with little fuss. Unit A got some updates, too, while leaving room for a future cosmetic refresh. Even better - easy-care wood-look laminate runs through the main living spaces. And then there’s the location. Set along a bend in the street directly across from a community center with expansive green space, gardens and a neighborhood park, this is 78745 living without the South Austin price tag. William Cannon and Menchaca are right around the corner, with Sprouts, restaurants and everyday essentials close at hand. Downtown Austin is just 7 miles away, with retail galore in all directions. South Austin’s restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment scattered in every direction. Buy it as an investment. Live in one side. Rent both. However you play it, this is the kind of property worth a closer look.

Welcome to 24 Long Creek, a Hill Country home built for efficient, flexible living. A tree-lined circle drive leads to an extended front porch and native-plant xeriscaping. The owned solar system, 51 roof panels producing approximately 85% of the home's power, stores unused energy in the Tesla Powerwall outside the garage. If the power goes out, the Powerwall keeps the home running, and the Tesla app lets you choose what it covers. The app can also prioritize the Powerwall to lower your bill, and it automatically shifts to storage when storms are forecast. The 3-car garage includes an EV charger and outlet. Inside, fresh paint and tile floors, a Heatilator fireplace with limestone hearth, dining room, and breakfast nook. Stainless appliances include a 2024 dishwasher and 2021 range top.

Outside, enjoy an extended covered patio, area for outdoor kitchen with storage shed, room for a pool, and backyard irrigation.

Leaf guards on the gutters, West Travis County MUD water, and a propane tank complete this exceptional home.

Palm Springs modern architecture meets a private Japanese Zen resort in the heart of Central Austin. Hidden away on approximately .33 of an acre, this home is a truly unique single-story modern home where architecture, privacy and outdoor living come together in a way that is increasingly difficult to find in Austin. Built by Metrohouse and inspired by classic Palm Springs modern design, the home’s low, horizontal architecture was designed around a seamless connection between indoors and out. Set well back from the street on a private flag lot, the home feels remarkably secluded. But the real story unfolds beyond the walls. Over the years, the backyard has been completely transformed into an extraordinary Zen-inspired garden and private resort. Mature bamboo, lush plants, flowers and thoughtfully planted trees surround multiple ponds with running water, creating a peaceful backdrop throughout the property. Multiple seating and gathering areas are tucked into the landscape, while an abundance of mature shade makes the outdoor spaces enjoyable even during the Texas summer. At the center of it all is the pool and spa, surrounded by expansive outdoor living areas and a covered patio with a full outdoor kitchen. Whether entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet afternoon surrounded by the sounds of running water and nature, this backyard feels worlds away from the city. The home's thoughtful single-story floor plan continues the indoor/outdoor experience, while a connected guest/in-law suite with its own kitchenette, w/d and bathroom provides exceptional flexibility. A three-car garage and breezeway add another unique entertaining space and further reinforce the home's open-air Palm Springs character. This home isn't another newly built white-box modern home. It has architectural history, personality and a landscape that has taken years to mature. This home is truly a one of one, must see.

All three bedrooms are upstairs with new carpet, including a spacious primary suite with its own private balcony overlooking the greenbelt. A two-car garage with alley access keeps parking tucked away, while the home's front-facing green space gives you something much better to look at than a driveway.

A protected cove in Edwards Mountain, Hill Country and skyline views to the north, east and south, and a Muskin-built traditional that has been cared for from day one: this is the kind of house to hold onto for a long time. The cove is the first thing you notice. A level front yard and a long driveway are rare in the hills and give you room to spread out, and the neighbors on this quiet cul-de-sac look out for one another. The .308-acre lot sits among mature live oaks with morning light in front and afternoon shade in back, and the backyard can go either way: cleared and leveled for more lawn and play space, or kept as it is for privacy, shade and low upkeep. Inside, a two-story entry sets the scale and high ceilings and natural light carry through. Solid hardwood floors were just refinished, and the finishes are the kind that hold up: wool carpet upstairs, cork floors in the dining room, a custom built-in buffet with wine storage, crown molding, plantation shutters and upgraded lighting throughout. The kitchen is anchored by a commercial-grade Wolf gas range and opens to the living areas and the covered porches beyond. The main level flexes. A dedicated office with pocket doors, plus a second space that works as a playroom, music room, library, second living area or a lounge for entertaining. All bedrooms are upstairs. The oversized primary suite has a sitting area, a huge walk-in closet, a bath with an oversized tub facing the hills, and its own private deck with north, east and south views over the hills and the Austin skyline. A recently replaced composite deck and covered porches on both levels handle grilling, dining and quiet evenings. Xeriscaped gardens front and back keep the yard low maintenance. An oversized two-car garage, a laundry room with sink and cabinetry, a main-level powder bath and storage everywhere. Minutes to MoPac, Loop 360, H-E-B, The Domain, The Arboretum and downtown, on a street where homes rarely change hands.
