THE HOME, IN THE LISTING AGENT’S WORDS

A closer look.

3814 Southway Dr presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully reimagined fourplex in Austin’s highly sought-after 78704 corridor. Taken down to the studs and rebuilt with durability and modern design in mind, this exceptional multi-family property blends high-end finishes, low-maintenance ownership, and strong income potential in one of Austin’s top rental and short-term rental markets.

Read the full description

Scheduled for completion in June 2025, each of the four units features a spacious 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath layout with interiors designed to appeal to both long-term tenants and short-term rental guests. Major upgrades include a new roof, HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical, insulation, windows, and cabinetry, creating a turnkey investment with minimal maintenance.

Inside, residents and guests will appreciate the modern aesthetic, custom cabinetry, updated kitchens, designer finishes, open-concept living spaces, and contemporary bathrooms designed to compete with newer urban-core construction. The efficient floorplans and premium upgrades position the property well for executive rentals, furnished rentals, traditional leasing, or Airbnb/short-term rental strategies, subject to buyer verification and permitting requirements.

Located minutes from South Lamar, Downtown Austin, Barton Springs, and Zilker Park, the property offers an unbeatable location with strong tenant demand and appreciation potential. Its proximity to major employers, entertainment districts, and Austin’s cultural core makes it especially attractive for professionals, creatives, traveling nurses, tech workers, and visitors seeking an authentic Austin experience.

Whether you are a seasoned investor seeking a stabilized luxury multi-family asset or an owner-operator interested in maximizing rental income potential, 3814 Southway Dr represents a compelling opportunity to own a virtually new-construction fourplex in one of Austin’s neighborhoods.

Offered at $1,450,000. Completion anticipated June 2025.
