801 Oakland Ave, Austin TX 78703

Rare opportunity to create your dream home on a premier street in the historic neighborhood of Clarksville. An original, Craftsman style home currently resides on the property and is the perfect example of the character that makes this community so appealing. There are so many options here! Remodel the existing structure or renovate and add on in a way that is specifically designed for your needs. Clarksville feeds into top-rated schools and offers one of Austin’s few walkable neighborhoods… There is a beautiful park around the corner with a playground & pool. Enjoy a perfect Austin day by grabbing a coffee at Cafe Medici, shop at Howler Brothers, get your groceries at Fresh Plus and then enjoy dinner at renowned Jeffrey’s Restaurant & Bar, Josephine House, Clark’s Oyster Bar or Lin’s Dim Sum. Also nearby are numerous options for nightlife including Howards Bar, NightCap, Bar Peached or Donn’s Depot. This area is really coming into it’s own with the stylish, high-end development of 6th & Blanco that is already underway. The home has been designated historic and it is our understanding that you would need to keep some of the front facade of the home (please research to your own satisfaction). There are many examples in the neighborhood where renovations have been done that retain the charm of the original home while simultaneously adding space and modern touches to meet today’s desires. Included with the sale are plans that are actively approved with the City of Austin for a renovation that would make this home ~1,930 sq. ft. with garage (we believe there is more allowable impervious cover but Buyer to confirm to their satisfaction). It is hard to overstate how valuable this is, not only in the form of money saved but also in the amount of time & effort spent to get an Active Permit with the COA. The plan leaves room for a pool in the backyard. This amazing property also features a partial City view from the second story. Drone photos/heights are an approximation.
