Description

Savoring the Simple Life at "Lil Speedy," a Revitalized 1938 Gem.

Ah, Hyde Park. Evenings on the porch, the scent of jasmine in the air, and the gentle hum of a neighborhood that feels like stepping back in time – yet with a distinctly Austin community. Nestled at 4406 Speedway, this 1937 bungalow whispers stories of generations past while embracing a vibrant present.

Sunlight streams through the original double-hung windows, their wavy glass a testament to craftsmanship rarely seen today.  Inside, with built-in cabinetry rumored to be handcrafted by European immigrants, each detail is a quiet echo of a bygone era. Could this be a Sears Catalogue home, a charming piece of Americana woven into the fabric of Hyde Park? The lore adds a touch of delightful mystery. 

But this isn't just about history; you’ll find a thoughtful refresh, where the playful sophistication of Kelly Wearstler and Louis Poulsen designed lighting dances with the elegant simplicity of original hardwood floors and trim. Curated updates blend with the home's inherent character, creating a space that feels both timeless, and utterly now. And rest assured, modern comforts flow seamlessly throughout with updated plumbing and a new metal roof.

Beyond the 2 bed / 1 bath main house, a delightful surprise awaits you in the landscaped garden: a separate studio with its own bath, and accessible via the alley. Picture it as a creative haven, a guest retreat, or a home office – the possibilities are as open as a Texas sky.

Life here extends beyond the walls. Stroll to neighborhood favorites, like First Light Books for a relaxing Sunday, afternoon pilates class at Moogie, or a last minute baking need from Tiny Grocer. Nestled beneath the leafy canopy of Hyde Park, this isn't just a house, its an opportunity to own a piece of Austin's soul, beautifully updated for modern living.
