About This Home

This two-bedroom home with a separate office pod and two car garage is located in one of Central Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Thoughtfully designed, 605 Harris Avenue offers the perfect blend of walkability, charm, and modern comfort. Just moments from Lee Elementary and within easy biking distance to UT, this prime location puts you at the center of it all: Hyde Park, with local coffee shops, and tree-lined streets that define the Austin lifestyle. Originally built in 1938 and fully re-imagined in 2018, this home has been transformed into a modern jewel box— thoughtfully designed for today’s lifestyle while remaining grounded in the timeless appeal of its location. Living larger than its 1,336 square feet, the seamless two-story layout is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The open-concept main level centers around a chef-inspired kitchen featuring a full Bosch stainless steel appliance package, sleek quartz countertops, and a striking waterfall island -perfect for gathering, cooking, and hosting. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining and living areas, creating a bright, connected space. Engineered wood and tile flooring run throughout, adding warmth and durability with a clean, modern feel. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in shower and dual vanities. The secondary bedroom is conveniently located near a full bath, making it perfect for guests or family. A standout feature is the detached office pod, connected via one of the tiered decks—an ideal work-from-home setup, creative studio, or quiet escape completely separate from the main house. Step down from here to the peaceful patio and enjoy your morning coffee. The oversized 357-square-foot garage with epoxy flooring provides incredible flexibility—use it as a gym, workshop, or additional storage. A rare opportunity to own a versatile, move-in-ready home in one of Austin’s most beloved central neighborhoods. Buyer to verify all details.
