Charming Midcentury Cottage in Wooten Park with Room to Grow

Welcome to 8318 Burrell Drive—a delightful 1950s cottage nestled in the heart of Austin’s beloved Wooten Park neighborhood. This updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends original character with thoughtful modern touches, including refinished hardwood floors and renovated kitchen and bathroom spaces that maintain the home’s charm while adding contemporary comfort.

Step out back to a spacious deck—perfect for al fresco dinners, morning coffee, or a cold beverage under the Texas sky. The .23-acre lot offers a deep backyard with towering shade trees and plenty of space to unwind, play, or expand. A detached two-car garage adds functionality and potential for a future studio or workshop.

Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better. You’re just blocks from Wooten Neighborhood Park and minutes from Burnet Road, offering easy access to a fantastic lineup of shops, bars, and restaurants—north and south.

And here’s the kicker: with recent City of Austin Home Initiative code changes now in effect, this generous lot could accommodate up to three housing units, including an ADU or tiny home (on SF-3 zoned properties like this one). Whether you’re looking for a cozy place to call home or a smart investment with room to grow, 8318 Burrell Drive checks all the boxes.
