A singular opportunity to acquire two homes on one expansive corner lot in the coveted Bouldin Creek neighborhood—one of Austin’s most architecturally expressive and culturally iconic enclaves. Positioned at the intersection of James Street and South 5th, the property offers dual access points and exceptional frontage, enhancing its development potential and livability.
Moments from Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Park, South Congress, and Lady Bird Lake, the location is unrivaled—just steps from the walkable charm of South 1st and the energy of South Lamar’s acclaimed dining, shopping, and nightlife.
The existing structures form a versatile compound, ideal for multi-generational living, guest quarters, or rental income. For those with vision, the oversized lot provides a rare canvas for transformative redevelopment—whether as a private architectural estate, luxury spec project, or thoughtful urban infill.
Surrounded by some of the city’s most celebrated homes and amenities, 914 James Street embodies the essence of Austin living—authentic, design-forward, and connected to everything.
