About this home
Meet this little plum in Cherrywood! Colorful, quirky and full of personality, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath, 905 sq. ft. home is the kind of place that reminds you why people fell in love with Austin in the first place. Behind the purple exterior and cheerful red door, you’ll find warm tile floors, arched openings, unexpected pops of color and a clawfoot tub that fits the vibe perfectly.
This plum has plenty of practical appeal, too, including a new roof installed in September 2026. Outside, the approximately 7,179 sq. ft. lot gives you a BIG, flat, fully fenced backyard shaded by mature trees—with room to garden, play, entertain or dream up what comes next. The detached storage shed already has water and electricity, and there’s an additional plumbing line in the yard. The garage is currently living its best life as a laundry room and home gym, but can accommodate a vehicle.
Tucked into Cherrywood and just minutes from Mueller, with neighborhood favorites like Cherrywood Coffeehouse nearby, this is a wonderfully quirky little slice of Austin in a location that’s hard to beat.
Not cookie cutter. Not trying to be. Come take a look at this plum before someone else picks it....
