A rare double-lot corner in the heart of East Austin — 0.37 acre / 16,134 sf across two legally platted lots with three frontages: Poquito Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, and a 20-foot rear alley. SF-3-NP zoning with Rosewood Neighborhood Plan overlay, minutes from downtown and the East 11th/12th Street corridors. The 2BR/2BA main residence — once the parsonage of the Grant Chapel AME Church complex, held by a single owner for nearly thirty years — was comprehensively remodeled in 2011 and carries a 4-Star Austin Energy Green Building certification: oak floors, open living and dining, standing-seam metal roof, spray foam insulation. Two auxiliary structures invite studio, workshop, guest, or adaptive-reuse ideas, subject to buyer's inspections. New survey and title commitment in hand. Opportunities with this much flexibility rarely reach the market: live in it, reimagine it, or build the next chapter. Buyer to independently verify all zoning and development potential.
