Austin, TX 78722 · Travis County
Architect-designed (Steve Zagorski) three-level residence on a corner lot in East Austin, with breathtaking downtown and UT skyline views from a third-floor balcony and rooftop deck. A chef's kitchen anchors the main level; a detached two-car garage is topped by a fully finished one-bedroom apartment — ideal as a high-performing short-term income unit. On the market via MLS #8624683, listed by Tiffany Tagle & Kumara Wilcoxon, Kuper Sotheby's Int'l Realty. Note: the yard is small and has no pool currently — a plunge pool would need to be added, estimated at roughly $80K.
Erika's take
Love the size here — 5 full bathrooms is rare for this footprint. Great proximity to UT, and the corner lot is a plus. It definitely needs a pool; budget roughly $80K, though it'll have to be small given the lot. The multi-unit configuration (main house + detached garage apartment) is great for splitting units during the week. Downtown views are a big draw, and I'd recommend a garage-to-game-room conversion on the ground floor below the apartment.
Tax play notes
81% improvement-to-land ratio per Travis CAD's 2026 assessment ($1,000,889 improvement of $1,228,000 total) — among the highest on this portal, reflecting the 2021 main house plus a separately valuable detached garage apartment. A ~$80K plunge pool build-out would itself be a fresh, fully depreciable improvement layered onto an already high ratio.
Estimated revenue per Erika's STR tracking sheet. Listing notes: "Turnkey 5 BR + pool in Central East Austin, about 1 mile to UT Austin & about 2 miles to downtown Austin."
