What was permitted
Homeowners in the South Manchaca neighborhood of Austin can see a substantial renovation and expansion project at 4509 Merle Dr. This permit covers the addition of approximately 1143 square feet to an existing single-family residence, including new kitchen, living, and laundry spaces. The project also features a new front porch and an uncovered wood deck.
The remodel involves removing portions of the existing roof and interior walls to integrate the new construction seamlessly. A new slab-on-grade foundation with drilled piers will tie into the current structure, and the exterior will receive new stucco and asphalt shingle roofing to match the existing style. This building permit was issued on October 26, 2026, with Build Austin TX as the general contractor.
