If you’re hunting for the unicorn property — the rare, close-in Austin opportunity with instant livability and real investor/developer upside — this is the one everyone wishes they spotted first. The kind of house where the location, the lot, and the potential all collide. This isn’t just a home. It’s an opportunity play disguised as the most charming, move-in-ready house in the neighborhood. Every neighborhood has that one property buyers fall for instantly… and the one lot that makes investors start calculating ROI before they hit the porch. This is that house. Inside, it’s already dialed in: custom kitchen cabinetry, warm real wood flooring, designer lighting and hardware — a curated, intentional feel throughout. A refreshed bathroom and a rare one-car garage add everyday convenience. Zero projects, zero headaches. Just move in and live well. But the power here is the land. The oversized backyard is a development engine — wide, deep, and nearly unheard of this close to Austin’s urban core. Build a guest house, a studio, a mother-in-law suite… or take the big swing and explore a duplex or additional structure to maximize the lot’s full potential. This is where value isn’t just appreciated — it’s created. Live in the front while you plan the back. Rent the home while you develop the expansion. Own a lot that actively works for you. And the location seals the deal: minutes from the booming Mueller District — Oddwood Brewing, trails, parks, dining, retail, and one of Austin’s premier mixed-use destinations. Quick highway access keeps everything effortless. Whether you’re a first-timer craving upside, an investor looking for the next strong hold, or a developer searching for the rare in-town lot that pencils beautifully… 3705 Manorwood is the one that delivers now and pays dividends later. This isn’t just the neighborhood favorite. It’s the neighborhood advantage — and it won’t stay on the table long.
