Tucked into one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods, 1903 Hether St is the kind of opportunity buyers wait for—but rarely find. This charming mid-century cottage sits on a generous, tree-shaded lot in the heart of Zilker, offering vintage curb appeal, walkability to South Lamar, South Congress, and Zilker Park, and a neighborhood where eclectic charm meets luxury redevelopment. Whether you're looking to live in as-is, expand over time, or build new, this property delivers flexibility in an unbeatable location. Surrounded by modern new construction and some of the best dining, music, and green spaces Austin has to offer, this home is your chance to plant roots in the soul of 78704—without the price tag that usually comes with it.
