Every once in a while a home comes to market that has already done the hard part. It has a track record, a flexible layout, and a location people actively search for. 2202 Santa Rita St in East Austin’s Buena Vista neighborhood is one of those homes, and it’s worth a closer look.
A Floor Plan Built to Flex
This 2018 build spreads across three stories with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2,497 square feet. The first floor has a full bedroom and bath, which makes hosting guests easy. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a home office tucked right into the main bedroom, along with two more bedrooms and another full bath. The third floor opens into a loft with room for a bedroom, a living area, and a work-from-home setup. Even the attached garage has been put to work as a gym.
A Kitchen and Backyard Made for Gathering
The open kitchen anchors the main level with quartz counters, a kitchen island, a breakfast bar, a pantry, and stainless steel appliances. The downstairs living room opens through large patio sliders to a private fenced backyard with a deck, a seating area, and a fire pit. It’s the kind of indoor-outdoor flow that makes everyday living and weekend hosting feel effortless.
A Location That Defines East Austin
This is the part that makes 78702 what it is. From here you can walk or bike to neighborhood favorites like Flat Track Coffee, Mercado Sin Nombre, Launderette, la Barbecue, and H-E-B. Weekends open up to Lady Bird Lake, the Butler Trail, Festival Beach, and Metz Park. Downtown, East 6th, and Rainey Street are all just minutes away, which is exactly why guests and residents keep choosing this pocket of the city.
An Income Producer With a Real Track Record
What sets this home apart is its history. It has been a highly successful short-term rental, generating strong, consistent annual income year after year. For a buyer thinking about an investment, a second home that helps offset ownership costs, or a primary residence with rental flexibility, that proven performance is hard to replicate.
Why Buyers Should Take a Look
2202 Santa Rita brings together the three things that are tough to find in one property: a flexible floor plan, a sought-after East Austin location, and a proven income history. Whether you’re expanding a portfolio or looking for a home that works as hard as you do, this one earns its place on the list. View the full listing on Compass.
