On MarketTurnkey Airbnb"The Comal House" — a custom-designed residence in East Austin's Oreilly James subdivision, near the MLK Metro station. The main level flows from living room to kitchen to poolside, with a private office off the kitchen. Upstairs, all bedrooms center around a second living area and balcony, and a spiral staircase leads to a third-floor rooftop deck with sweeping views of the Texas State Capitol and downtown skyline. Recent upgrades include a 6.3kW solar system, a premium metal roof, and energy-efficient windows (all 2023). Originally a private residence, the home has also operated as a highly successful short-term rental with consistent bookings. Built by Guardian Custom Builders. On the market via MLS #ACT9549220, listed by Justin Pistorius, Local Life Realty, LLC.
Erika's take
Turnkey Airbnb with a rooftop patio and downtown views.
Tax play notes
63% improvement-to-land ratio per Travis CAD's 2026 assessment ($547,911 improvement of $864,130 total) on this 2019-built home — a solid cost segregation candidate, with the pool and rooftop deck as additional depreciable improvements.
Erika's estimate: ~$190K/year gross annual revenue.
