Set along a beautiful, mature tree-lined street in the heart of 78704, 1709 Brackenridge offers classic Austin character, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional location just blocks from South Congress. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers over 2,300 square feet with a flexible two-story floor plan, including two bedrooms on the main level and two additional bedrooms upstairs alongside a second living area.
