Close to what's happening, but far enough to get away from it all.

Our 1910 built City of Austin Landmark home is located in historic Fairview Park, the first suburb of Austin. At least, back then it was a suburb - now it's the trendiest neighborhood in downtown Austin, the Live Music Capitol of the World. Just a few blocks walk from shops, restaurants, and music venues of South Congress Avenue. See and be seen at Jo's Coffee, enjoy fine dining at the numerous SoCo restaurants, listen to live music at the Continental Club, and walk back when your evening is done to the privacy of this peaceful, secluded spot.

The Sunday House is a 1 bedroom apartment upstairs of the original carriage house and behind the main house. Fully furnished and roomy enough for families, it has a separate bedroom, full bath with clawfoot tub, living room with sleeper couch, dining room, and fully equipped kitchen. Access is via a private exterior staircase.

The surrounding yard is landscaped with beautiful flowers and plantings year round. You are welcome to enjoy the gardens. Kids can play on the play-scape while you relax with a cup of coffee outside. You won't believe just how quiet this secluded retreat is and how near it is to the most exciting neighborhood in downtown Austin.

  • I stayed at the Sunday House twice, while visiting our daughter who was attending UT-Austin. The apartment is lovely and quiet, and easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We enjoyed walking the paths at Town Lake, seeing the millions of bats come out at dusk at the bridge, and cozy dinners at 'home', playing Scrabble and enjoying the peaceful setting. I would recommend the Sunday House to anyone needing a home away from home.

  • We enjoyed our stay at the Sunday house. We only wish we could have stayed longer than 3 days. The location is great and it is an easy walk to get coffee, go to Austin's quirky shops and eat great Mexican food. When we visit Austin again, we would like to stay here.

  • My husband and I visited Austin in late March to attend my nephew's Culinary School graduation. We wanted to be closer to the downtown action than where my sister lives (in a north suburb). Finding The Sunday House via the web was perfect. The owner Jimi was great to work with--both before and during our stay. What a lovely property in a great location! The neighborhood was quiet, quaint, and showcased the best of Austin. Being only a few blocks from South Congress was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed shopping the quirky stores, eating Amy's ice cream, and rockin' out at the Continental Club! The Sunday House was appointed with every amenity one could need. It was clean and comfortable, with kitchen supplies, plenty of towels, a hair dryer and even a good iron. We particularly enjoyed the many books and magazines on Austin attractions. It was fun to peruse these before setting out on a day of sight-seeing. Thanx Jimi! We'll be back! Chris & Sterling

  • We stayed four nights in "The Sunday House" at the beginning of March. It was a wonderful experience; fantastic location, (birds singing in the morning, walking distance to SoCo), clean, quiet and comfortable in an amazing neighbourhood. We walked to the Continental Club, the newly re-opened Gallery (an intimate bar with great music and neon art), several restaurants and outdoor venues. Driving to 6th Street was not a problem, found it quite easy to get around. Downtown we visited a few nightspots and art galleries. We also visited to Capital Buildings on "Art Day"; several performers to watch in the rotunda. Unfortunately, we were a few days too early to see the "bats"; perhaps next time. We highly recommend "The Sunday House" as "the" location when visiting Austin.
