About 5501 Purple Sage Dr
Calling all investors!!! This renovated duplex is in the prime (yet still affordable) pocket east of University Hills. With great proximity to 183 and HWY 290 you're only 20 minutes from downtown with easy access to the airport and all parts north and south of Austin. The duplex features a 3 bed/2 bath unit and a 2 bed/2 bath unit that are both fully furnished and currently being used as Short-Term Rentals; the incoming buyer could easily continue to rent or move in to one side and rent the other side to significantly cut their living costs. Enjoy modern finishes and repairs that the current owner has already taken care of- all you need to do is pack your clothes! Located in the established La Cima neighborhood, 5501 Purple Sage is located directly across from LBJ High School's football and baseball fields, so you're looking at open space rather than houses. La Cima backs up to the Walnut Creek Greenbelt and Hike and Bike Trail meaning you're only a minute from a perfect space to get out in nature- dog lovers rejoice! Don't miss this opportunity to own your own home and generate income at the same time. Schedule your showing today!
