1906 Collier St

Tucked into the most coveted Zilker neighborhood in Austin, The Collier St Cottage offers a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of 78704 history. Thoughtfully cared for by the same family since 1984, this home combines a prime location, modern convenience, and refined upgrades with character and charm.

Main Residence: 1,790 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, set on a serene, professionally landscaped lot. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed with 2 living rooms and 3 eating areas, this remarkable 1950s home is perfect for daily indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. A masterful blend of comfort, style, and functionality makes the Collier St Cottage a standout property with endless possibilities in 78704. With an open chef-inspired kitchen featuring high-end Italian appliances, this timeless home blends modern convenience with classic cottage charm. Move-in ready with all the luxuries that you are expecting!

Functional Layout: The Collier St Cottage has a welcoming entry with a front living room opening seamlessly into the kitchen and a cozy breakfast nook. Next, step into a huge light-filled back great room, which includes a 2nd living room and formal dining room. From there the circular layout brings you back to the front of the house, creating an inviting flow seldom seen in modern builds. 

Single Story: In an area where 3 story houses have become commonplace, this home allows for greater accessibility. A single story floor plan is more convenient for all ages, eliminating the daily hassle and potential hazard of navigating stairs, a much more practical and future-proof living arrangement compared to a multi-level house.

Separate Garage Lounge: An additional 218 sq ft of cooled and heated space adds flexibility and long-term potential.

No HOA: Enjoy complete autonomy over the property, allowing for unrestricted customization and use of the home without the burden of monthly fees or restrictive covenants.

Proven Income & Flexible Options: With this home’s design of the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms across from the 2nd full bathroom, the floor plan is perfect for income-generating without compromising privacy. The primary suite at the back of the home has a dedicated private entrance and has been successfully operated as a short-term rental “Guest En-suite,” providing additional passive income.

ADU Potential: The detached 218 sq ft garage lounge is a blank canvas, ideal for expansion into a 4th bedroom, home office, studio, gym space, or even more rental income.

Private Outdoor Living: The beautifully landscaped backyard creates a serene oasis for relaxing and entertaining, while the inviting front yard offers enduring appeal that evokes a feeling of "Welcome Home.”
