Why this East Austin address works
East Austin’s MLK area sits between central job centers and the Mueller district. From this block you’re minutes to grocery and retail at Mueller, the East Austin restaurant and coffee corridor, and a short drive to UT and Downtown — useful whether you’re an owner-occupant or evaluating long-term rental demand near eastside employment and amenities.
Inside the home
The open floor plan does not feel “century-old.” Refinished hardwood floors run through the main living areas. The kitchen is built to host: granite counters, gas cooktop, double wall ovens, stainless appliances, a beverage fridge, and a peninsula with bar seating that opens to living and dining.
The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and double-vanity bath. Two more bedrooms are generously sized, with a second full bath (double vanity) shared between them. Laundry is in-unit. Out back, a private yard is ready for dining and weekends.

- Character + usable square footage in East Austin / 78721
