$499,000 - 2827 Manor Road 3102, Austin

Skip the commute. Skip the maintenance. Skip the boring. This 1-bed, 1.5 bath + office loft drops you right in the middle of everything Central Austin has going for it — trails, tacos, pickleball, coffee, and cold drinks — all walkable from your front door. Inside, the vibe is bright and open: soaring ceilings, natural light doing its thing, and a layout that flows. The kitchen is stacked — gas cooktop, modern appliances, breakfast bar — and glass sliders open to a private balcony that's ideal for sunsets or iced coffee. A half bath with fun updates rounds out the main floor. Head upstairs to the spacious primary with en-suite bathroom and the loft is ready to become your dedicated office, creative space, or (with a few tweaks) a secondary bedroom. Laundry is conveniently located in the hallway. The updates are done: Fresh paint (2026). New floors (2024). A gorgeous tiled shower with glass (2022). Fridge, washer, and dryer all stay — just bring your stuff and move in. Two-car garage. Gated entry. Low HOA. And a lock-and-leave setup that's basically built for people who'd rather be somewhere else than worrying about their house. Frequent flyer? Weekend adventurer? This one's for you. And when you do come home — Mueller's best restaurants and bars are steps away, the Moody Center is around the corner, and Zilker, Lamar, East Austin and Downtown Austin is just a quick drive or rideshare. This is the rare spot where location, lifestyle, and low-maintenance living all land in the same zip code.
