About 512 E 49th St

Set on one of Hyde Park’s beloved tree-lined streets, 512 East 49th offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and possibility. Three bedrooms, two baths, and rich architectural details anchor the main house, while a detached garage apartment and unfinished flex space extend your vision even further — for guests, investment, or artistic pursuits. Just steps from cult-favorite cafés, indie bookstores, and tiny neighborhood grocers — and only moments from the pulse of downtown Austin — this property captures the spirit of old Austin with the freedom to imagine what’s next. Inside, sunlight filters through original windows, illuminating hardwood floors and thoughtful updates that enhance, rather than erase, the home's original craftsmanship. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow easily, creating a natural gathering place full of warmth and energy. A private primary suite offers a quiet retreat, while two additional bedrooms flex easily to suit your needs. Outside, a detached garage apartment provides immediate value — think guest suite, creative studio, or income potential — while the unfinished garage space below invites bold ideas. Whether you envision a workshop, a home gym, or a second apartment, the possibilities are as open as your imagination. 512 East 49th isn’t just a home; it’s an invitation to step into one of Austin’s most cherished neighborhoods — a place where front porches are meant for conversation, corner shops are still local, and life moves at just the right pace.
