A rare opportunity to own a true gem in downtown Austin, this one-of-a-kind multifamily property offers charm, flexibility, and a prime location all in one. Just blocks from the vibrant energy of the West 6th Street District, the property is walkable to The Capitol, Courthouse, and numerous Austin staples.
Currently configured as three distinct spaces, each with its own private entrance, this property offers immediate function and income:
– Two of the spaces are set up as fully permitted short-term rentals (STRs), ideal for Airbnb or executive stays.
– The third space is occupied by a respected long-term design firm, offering built-in rental income or the option to convert for personal or business use.
Originally designed by renowned Texas historian Walter Prescott Webb, this 1920s-era property is a testament to timeless charm and thoughtful design. Each space is filled with character, featuring hardwood floors, adaptable layouts, and a distinct sense of place that reflects Austin’s creative spirit. Whether you’re an investor, a visionary entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking a flexible live/work opportunity in the heart of the city, this property offers unmatched potential.
With 10 permitted parking spaces in the rear, an extraordinary asset in this central location, and DMU zoning allowing for both residential and commercial use, the possibilities are truly endless. New roof January 2025.
Opportunities like this rarely come to market. Here is your chance to own a storied piece of Austin’s past, while shaping its future.
