Erika's take
A ton of potential here — the neighborhood itself is just okay, but the property has real group-stay STR upside. The oversized 3-car garage could become an epic game room, the driveway is wide enough to paint lines for a pickleball court, and there's room to add a pool. Would easily sleep 16. The one real gap: it needs a third full bathroom — 2 full + 1 half across 5 bedrooms is tight for a group-stay STR.
Tax play notes
Travis CAD's 2026 assessment shows land value only ($208,422) with $0 improvement recorded — the county hasn't yet caught up to the completed 2026 new construction on this lot (the prior structure was an older, fire-damaged home). Once TCAD captures the finished build, expect a substantial step-up in assessed value, which would make this a strong cost segregation candidate at that point — especially since the improvement plan below layers roughly $310K–$325K of fresh, depreciable improvements onto the existing structure. Gault Estimated Improvements: • Pool: ~$110,000 • Turf & landscaping: ~$40,000 • Garage conversion: ~$10,000 • Furnishings & design: ~$120,000–$135,000 • Pickleball court on driveway: ~$5,000 (rough estimate, haven't completed one on a driveway before) • Additional bathroom (if needed): ~$25,000
Erika's estimate: $260,000–$280,000/year projected annual revenue post-renovation (pool, garage gameroom conversion, pickleball court, furnishings, and possible third bathroom).
