Description
Charming Mid-Century Home with Income-Producing Apartment & Music Studio in Beloved University Hills! Built in 1965 and lovingly maintained by the same owners for the past 18 years, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home blends character, sustainability, and flexible living options. The home includes a 1-bedroom, 1-bath attached garage apartment with private entrance and kitchenette—ideal for rental income, guests, or a dedicated home office. Connected to the main house via a shared laundry room, it offers both privacy and convenience. Up the exterior stairs, you'll find a thoughtfully designed music studio with a vaulted ceiling and its own half bath. Built in consultation with professional acousticians, the studio features a decoupled floor from the apartment below, walls optimized to reduce parallel reflections, and custom acoustic panels for excellent sound quality. With both front and back balconies overlooking the lush yard and gardens, this bonus space is perfect for musicians, podcasters, artists—or anyone in need of a peaceful creative retreat. Designated a Certified Wildlife Habitat, 6903 Vassar Dr. is a sanctuary for nature lovers. Native plants, fig and pomegranate trees, raised garden beds, and rainwater collection and diversion systems support birds, butterflies, lizards, and pollinators—all while providing a tranquil oasis right in the city. With the apartment and studio added in 2017, tankless water heater installed in 2021, electric car charger added in 2022, and a new roof in 2024, this home reflects nearly two decades of thoughtful, future-minded maintenance. Located just minutes from Mueller’s shopping and dining, and all the vibrancy of East Austin, this home is more than a place to live—it’s an ecosystem for creating, thriving, and connecting with both nature and community.
