This 4-bed, 4-bath, 2,271 sqft home in Central East Austin is modern, spacious, and in a hot, walkable neighborhood. The property’s list price of $949K is in line with comps, but it’s not a distressed or outdated home—it was built in 2013 and is already well-finished. Nearby comparables, like 1013 E 12th St (4/4, 2,208 sqft) at $917K, reinforce that you’re priced near market for move-in-ready homes. That means there’s limited room to add value through renovations or cosmetic upgrades for a classic flip.
Instead of a traditional flip, focus on maximizing the property’s appeal for resale by boosting curb appeal, staging, and leveraging its high-performing short-term rental history. Highlight features like the third-floor deck, oversized garage, and rare lot ownership. For owners: small investments in landscaping or minor cosmetic touch-ups could help you stand out and sell faster, but don’t dump money into major renovations—the ROI probably won’t be there.
