Set on a generous 0.28-acre lot, this property offers endless possibilities for a range of buyers - homeowners, investors, and developers alike. Live, build, or invest! First-time buyer? Own a charming, move-in-ready home under $500K just four miles from South Congress. Multi-generational living? The cleared rear portion of the lot offers potential for up to two additional dwelling units (ADUs), creating a private family compound. Investor or developer?

The cottage: Built in 1953, this 1,164-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 1-bath home blends timeless character with modern upgrades. Original hardwood floors, curved archways, and a cozy banquette set the tone, while over $80,000 in improvements deliver peace of mind—updated plumbing, siding, windows, insulation, HVAC, water heater, front porch, and more (detailed list available). The bathroom was fully gutted, expanded and rebuilt in 2025, featuring custom tile, a natural wood vanity, marble countertops, and sleek matte black fixtures for a spa-like feel. The location: Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, yet just minutes to South Congress, South Lamar, downtown, Central Market, and the airport.
