Welcome to 11116 Jim Thorpe Lane in Olympic Heights—a four-bedroom home that’s essentially brand new from the inside out. Completed in August 2025, the remodel rebuilt about 90% of the home behind its original brick & framing with over $200K in upgrades. It hasn’t been lived in since completion.
The layout feels intentional—open through the kitchen and living areas, with privacy built into the places that matter most. The kitchen was opened up by raising the entrance to full ceiling height & fitted with locally built solid wood custom cabinets, quartz counters, deep double-basin sink, new Frigidaire appliances & an updated backsplash. The primary suite is welcoming & now features a large two-person glass shower with modern finishes & a tilt-out privacy window. The upstairs bath was nearly tripled in size with a double vanity, wet closet for the toilet & upgraded tile.Every surface has been replaced—new sheetrock & insulation (except garage), new LVP & 12x24 tile, new trim, paint inside/out, lighting, fixtures, faucets, toilets & blinds. Even the roof, HVAC + ducting, water heater, plumbing & electrical are ALL NEW, Permitted and up to code. The primary suite sits quietly on the main floor, with three bedrooms & the redesigned bath upstairs.A six-door storage closet was added upstairs, closets now feature solid wood shelving, & a new front door completes the refresh. It’s a clean, solid home that feels intentional—not sterile—built with care, not shortcuts.Outside, Olympic Heights offers walking trails, a community dog park, and friendly sidewalks that connect easily to nearby hangouts. You’re in a true “old school” South Austin pocket where neighbors wave, dogs get their walks, & weekends roll into Moontower Saloon, South Austin Beer Garden, Valentina’s, The Hive & Lustre Pearl South. Walk or bike to nearby food trucks & coffee spots—easy, low-key South Austin living at its best.
