South Austin has been unveiling gems little and large lately. A charming, one-story home in Bouldin Creek falls into the cozy category at 736 square feet—but it’s packed with character and style.

Built in 1955, the house was redesigned in 2017 by lauded local firm Courtney Blanton Interiors. The layout takes advantage of generous decks front and back as well as a large backyard and screened-in porch. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom home has wood floors, custom built-ins, stainless appliances, and natural stone counters.

Located at 703 West Johanna Street, the home is listed by Engel & Volkers.

A small frame home with a low-angled roof. It has a covered front porch with contemporary wooden steps and half-wall planter. There is a smaller square steel planter in front, grass, bushes on the left, and staggered concrete pavers leading to the porch.

A bedroom corner with a window on each wall. Both have bamboo pulldown shades. A bed with an upholstered frame under one window. There’s a small stool and pouffe at the end of it and a rug underneath.

A screened-in deck with a beadboard ceiling and ceiling fan and vintage-style screened double doors. There’s a faded rug with a long wooden table on top in the center. It’s surrounded with modern, webbed chairs and has a modern metal stool at the end.
