Few homes in Austin can say this: your backyard borders Boggy Creek Farm, one of the city’s best-loved urban farms. A privacy fence keeps the yard secluded, and beyond it there are no rooftops or back-neighbor windows, just the farm’s mature trees and open sky. You get the quiet of the country in the middle of East Austin, and the farm stand is practically next door for fresh, local produce. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths across 1,440 sq ft, plus an enclosed one-car garage with driveway parking, which is a rare find on the east side. The main level is open and easy to live in. Polished concrete floors run throughout, and a kitchen with black granite counters, a gas range, and stainless appliances opens to the living and dining area. A large peninsula with pendant lighting makes a natural gathering spot, and a powder bath is downstairs for guests. Upstairs, all three bedrooms have large, spacious closets, and the two full bathrooms are generously sized, with room to spread out. A covered front porch with cedar posts faces the street. Out back, the fully fenced, private yard has mature trees and a wood deck that’s ready for weekend cookouts. It’s a quiet spot where your only neighbor behind you is the farm. The location makes this one hard to beat. You’re minutes from downtown and close to East Austin’s restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and nightlife along East 6th and East Cesar Chavez. It’s also an easy run to the airport and quick to reach I-35 and 183. You get a quiet street and the farm out back without giving up any of the city.
