Historic house in highly walkable East Austin

Description

Available for stays of 1 to 9 months beginning June 2024. Comfortable 2 br/2 ba home very centrally located on Austin’s East Side. We chose our home for its location and character: a 1915 house with room to garden, a short walk from downtown and Lady Bird Lake. Some of the neighborhood amenities we enjoy include: • Running, biking, paddling on Lady Bird Lake and the Hike & Bike Trail, a half-mile from home • Restaurants ranging from taco stands to upscale—and some of the best barbecue in the nation, of course • Walk to new Whole Foods, urban Target/CVS, and many shops and services. • Eclectic neighborhood of modest historic homes, new condos, and lots of restaurants and lounges • Walking distance to music venues of all types • Our block is quiet and consists of single family homes. • UT campus a 2-mile bike ride away • Capitol 1.5 miles away • 1 or 2 blocks to bus stops • 6 blocks from Austin Convention Center • Walk or bike to downtown • Fantastic new Central Library a 1.5 mile walk or bike ride away. The 1,000 square foot, 2 bedroom/2 bathroom house is old and cared for, comfortably furnished, and enjoys some modern conveniences. • 9.5-foot ceilings, original longleaf pine floors, walls, and ceilings. • Front porch swing is nice for enjoying shade in the summer, sun in the winter. • Front bedroom has built-in full bed with bookcases and office setup; full bath (tub/shower); closet space. • Rear bedroom has queen bed, built-in storage, and built-in wardrobe space. • Second full bathroom is accessed from the laundry space or the back bedroom. It’s small but sweet, has a tub/shower and is the bathroom we use most. My favorite part is the anteroom with built-in shelves and a clothes hamper. • Efficient central heat and AC. • Stainless steel oven with gas burners; refrigerator, microwave. (Sorry, no dishwasher.) • Efficient front-loading washer and dryer. • Gigabit fiber Wifi included. • Central stereo wired to LR, DR, Kitchen. • Xeriscaped yards with small lawn in back. Perennials all around. Yard maintenance is included. Guests are welcome to plant in the front flower/vegetable beds if you like. • Fenced back yard. (Carport is for short-term rental guests, who have a separate entrance off the alley.) • Private front driveway with room for 2 cars. Or park next to house, behind gates, fits 1 car. We have a back house off the alley that we run as a short-term rental. Guests are quiet and do not use the yard.
