East Austin Home Not Exactly A Mansion, But On Very Valuable Land
For $514,999, one might reasonably expect a mansion at that price. But this is East Austin, one of the trendiest parts of the city.
EAST AUSTIN, TX — One might reasonable expect to get a mansion for the $514,999 price tag of a cozy home currently on the market. But this is East Austin, where land has progressively gotten more valuable amid brisk commercial development.
Which explains the interesting sales pitch at Realtor.com for the home at 1310 Bob Harrison St.: "The land is worth so much more! This desirable historic neighborhood is just blocks from downtown. Tear it down or totally remodel. Your choice. Lots of potential!"
Those choosing to remodel this circa-1914 home will have a house containing two bedrooms, 2 baths in a, — let's say cozy — 1,578 square feet of space. But again, this is Austin — land of soaring property values. And East Austin in particular is now considered among the hippest and oh-so-trendy parts of town, so there's that.
