Property Description

Own an investment property that pays for itself in the creative core of East Austin! This iconic 1906 estate offers more than just space—it offers a story. With nearly 5,700 square feet of flexible living and gathering areas, 1007 E 8th Street is equally suited as a gallery-worthy private residence, an artist's sanctuary, or a high-performing short-term rental with proven income history. Set on an expansive 9,900+ sq ft lot just blocks from the French Legation, this home blends timeless architecture with expressive design moments—original wood floors, multiple fireplaces, and gallery-style walls that invite large-scale art and curated installations. The 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom layout features spa-like bathrooms, a chef's kitchen, a sauna, and dramatic living spaces with soaring ceilings ideal for gatherings, performances, or quiet creative focus. Outside, private courtyards and a shaded deck offer space for sculpture, dining, or outdoor workshops. The metal roof and hardiplank siding nod to modern durability, while the historic frame holds decades of Austin history and artistic spirit. Located steps from Franklin Barbecue, Paperboy, Whole Foods, and dozens of East Austin's most vibrant galleries and studios, this property offers walkable access to the best of Austin's culinary and cultural scenes. Zoned for possibility and rich in character, this home invites its next owner to create, connect, and capitalize. Whether envisioned as a live-work studio, curated Airbnb, or multigenerational artist compound, 1007 E 8th St is a rare canvas in one of Austin's most dynamic cultural districts. Zoning: SF-3-HD-NP
