Property description

Located in the heart of Hyde Park, this custom Craftsman offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in the main home, plus a 1-bed/1-bath detached garage apartment—a rare blend of timeless character, generous square footage, soaring ceilings, and exceptional location. Originally constructed in 2000 by master woodworker and builder Michael Linnane, the home reflects a level of craftsmanship that's increasingly hard to find—featuring rich wood floors, detailed millwork, stained glass accents, transoms, and soaring ceilings throughout. The main residence spans approximately 3,722 square feet with a flexible floor plan that adapts to a variety of lifestyles—multiple living areas, ample bedrooms, and spaces that can evolve with your needs. The detached garage apartment (approx. 800 square feet) offers additional versatility—ideal for guests, rental income, or a private office/studio setup. Set on a pier-and-beam foundation, the home also offers expansive porches and decks, an oversized garage with workshop potential, solar panels, and a backyard retreat complete with an in-ground pool and spa. This well-maintained residence is both move-in ready and presents a compelling opportunity for a buyer to personalize finishes and bring their own vision to life. Location is where this property truly shines. Positioned in one of Austin's most beloved neighborhoods, you're just minutes from the shops and restaurants along Duval Street and North Loop, with easy access to The University of Texas at Austin, Downtown Austin, and neighborhood staples like Quack's 43rd Street Bakery and Hyde Park Bar & Grill. Tree-lined streets, historic charm, and a strong sense of community define this pocket of Central Austin. A rare opportunity to own a character-rich home with scale, flexibility, and upside—in one of the most walkable and enduring neighborhoods in the city.
