With .7 acres of land and views that overlook downtown Austin, this 2,955 square foot home plus unfinished basement is ready to be reimagined. Nestled amongst the trees in Central Austin, this unique property offers the opportunity to either update the interior to your liking or start afresh and build to suit on the gorgeous lot.

This classic brick home has great bones and an extremely functional floorplan, including additional square footage of unfinished space on the third floor that could make a fantastic game room, media room, or outdoor living space.  With some cosmetic updates, new windows, and new floors, this could be a one-of-a-kind showcase property.

As you step through the front door, notice how the soaring ceilings and wall of oversized windows perfectly frame the sprawling view. High above the city, you can see for miles, including views of the UT Tower and Austin skyline.  Thoughtful trimming of the trees could further expand the view; consult with an arborist to see what is possible. 

The sizable living room has many outstanding features.  Crown molding above and picture frame molding accenting the walls bring a sense of character to the space.  A fireplace welcomes cozy nights in and is flanked by great built-ins on one side.  From the living room you can also access the large deck that extends across the entire back of the home. (The deck has active wood rot, so please do not venture out.) Once repaired, the deck would be the perfect spot to unwind with a glass of wine while taking in the twinkling Austin skyline.  (Please note: some of the images above have been virtually staged.)

Just off the living room, you’ll find a formal dining space. The details that accent the living room carry throughout this area to create a cohesive look. A large window overlooking the front yard and chandelier overhead add an air of elegance. This dining area is completely open to the living room, allowing you to take in the outstanding views over dinner.

Just around the corner is a sizable kitchen. With a window above the sink and island in the center, this kitchen is ready for a simple refresh, as these virtual renderings suggest, or you could go further and do a complete remodel of the space. 

The adjoining informal dining room is perfect for casual meals.  Bay windows that overlook the treetops ensure your views of downtown are never lacking. Tucked around the corner, a walk-in butler’s pantry features plenty of storage, hook-ups for a secondary refrigerator, and additional counter space. 

Two bedrooms are thoughtfully situated on the opposite end of the home. Here you’ll find the primary bedroom with sweeping views that match the living space and a private entrance to enjoy the back deck.  This virtually staged image gives you an idea of how this space can be utilized to maximize the view.  Throw the doors open to enjoy a peaceful morning sipping coffee amongst the trees. Views of downtown Austin lie just beyond the treetops; imagine the possibilities. 

A large en-suite bathroom features a double vanity, large tub, and glass front shower with a bench. Two walk-in closets within the suite ensure that getting ready for the day is a breeze. 

A secondary bedroom is also located on the main floor. With a large arched window that overlooks the front yard, this room has beautiful natural light. A full bathroom right next door makes us think that this would be a great spot for a home office or guest room. The spacious hall bathroom features a double vanity, bath/shower combo, and additional storage for linens.

Upstairs you’ll find two more bedrooms and another full bath. With large windows in both rooms, take your pick of the panoramic views. While one room looks out over lush green treetops, the other offers sights of Austin’s skyline.  

Each bedroom also has a glass door that ties together form and function as it brings in additional natural light. Here you’ll find another sizable deck where you’ll love the view. These bedrooms share a hall bath that is outfitted with an extra-large vanity with great storage underneath and a bath/shower combination.

In addition to the four bedrooms and bathrooms that make up this home, it has a rare Texas find. An unfinished basement is accessible from the ground floor and is ready for anything. This space could be re-imagined as a home theater, home gym, turned into an incredible bonus room, or even opened to the outdoors to create a covered porch. This versatile space can be adapted to meet your needs. 

The best part of this property is the stellar location. You’ll love being right in the heart of Austin. Grab your morning coffee at Russell’s Bakery or order take out from Craig O’s before a cozy night in. With Allen Park and Perry Park just around the corner, you’ll have your pick of places to stretch your legs. 

With quick access to Mopac, you’re minutes away from the attractions at the Domain and Arboretum.  Plus, a commute to downtown Austin has never been easier.  It’s all within reach at 5907 Overlook Drive.
