MLS# 9999918 - 905 E 2nd Street, Austin, TX 78702

A rare chance to own a fully reimagined piece of Austin history in one of the city’s most coveted urban neighborhoods. Originally built in 1906 and meticulously renovated in 2023, this East Austin residence preserves the character and craftsmanship of the original home while adding the comfort, efficiency, and polish of a modern luxury renovation. Gorgeous windows frame downtown skyline views that only get better after sunset. Every major system has been replaced or upgraded, including the standing-seam metal roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, gas, Andersen windows, and more. Inside, rich hardwood floors, custom millwork, designer finishes, Hunter Douglas energy-efficient shades, hard-wired internet infrastructure, PoE security capability, and Google Fiber connectivity reflect the level of thought behind the renovation. The kitchen brings the good kind of drama with Thermador appliances, custom cabinets, and an 8’ waterfall island. Two bedrooms on the main level offer versatility for an office or hobby space. The upstairs is dedicated to the primary suite, that offers downtown skyline views that can be enjoyed from its covered balcony. The ensuite is equally impressive, and the custom closet doesn’t disappoint either. Outdoor living continues with 2 covered patios, herb and vegetable gardens, drip irrigation, water feature, historic shed, alley access to an automated gate that accesses rear driveway parking. Potential future possibilities for a detached studio, multi-gen setup, or potential ADU. From Lady Bird Lake to Rainey Street, Downtown, Whole Foods, and East Side favorites, the location keeps you close to the pulse of Austin. The location also sits in the path of Austin’s next chapter, with the planned Cesar Chavez-to-4th Street Cap and Stitch project. In a neighborhood where Austin’s past and future are literally being stitched together, this home lands in the rarest lane: historic, beautifully reimagined, deeply walkable, and ready for whatever comes next.
