Why the Owner Chose Soco
It is so easy to get everywhere from here. In ten minutes, I can be downtown. In 8 minutes, at Barton Springs. 5 minutes to South Congress. Plus, the neighbors are fantastic and I can walk to two grocery stores, and many restaurants, bookstores, cinemas are nearby. I love to walk and bicycle and this house made both convenient. Plus I love to cook and the house is a quick drive to a gourmet market with a great selection and a florist.
The Unique Benefits at this House
I fell in love with the house the moment I walked in. The ancient oaks and the outdoor garden in the back are both reasons I love this house. My favorite room is the sunken stone room where I almost feel like I'm outdoors. I love the big steelcase windows for the same reason. Close to Austin City Limits, South by Southwest. Available for Republic of Texas Biker Rally (ROT Biker Rally).
Large Gourmet Grocery Store with excellent seafood counter, produce, homemade sausage (88 varieties - ask which are most popular for the day),wine and beer selection, bakery, pastries, deli counter, p
A legendary country dance hall. Thursdays are a institution here.
Great hiking and mountain biking along this picturesque greenbelt. If you love the outdoors, put this on your list to do. Bring water and a bathing suit in case you find a great swimming hole!
Every Saturday 9am-1pm. Great place to explore, plus you can buy coffee, produce, prepared foods, hot foods, plants, and crafts.
Another Austin institution with fantastic behind-the-counter entertainment. Great for kids. My favorite is vanilla with strawberries.
After 35 years of eating Tacos in Austin, I found this place took Tacos to a whole new level. Do not miss a visit. Redefines tacos.
Walk up and down South Congress. Enjoy shopping, visit a restaurant (my favorites are Enoteca and Home Slice) or listen to music (I like Continental Club).
The natives were using this pool for hundreds of years before Austin was founded. Find out why. Open year round and spring fed. The most valued Austin attraction.
This walking, running and biking trail is where everyone comes to exercise, catch up with friends, and take in the beauty of the lake that goes right through Austin.
Your car may get broken into here, but a lot of people enter the greenbelt from here none the less.
A whole different way to see a movie. Good food, beer, wine and excellent entertainment. A lot of creative performances that use varying degrees of cinema to help out. Check out Master Pancake, but
Renovated in the last 10 years, with 11 screens is within 15 minute walk from house
Bus number 3 and Bus number 5 are both one block easy walk
Owner's Map of Soco
I was born in Austin. My hometown is like peeling an onion; there is always more to discover. I enjoy traveling and have lived abroad for several years, but I keep coming back here. I lived in this home for three years and made several upgrades for myself that I'm glad that others get a chance to enjoy.
