This is our primary residence and we want our guests to enjoy this location as much as we do. We take pride in our home in everything from the front entry walkway to the laundry room and we ask our guests to treat it as they would their own home while staying here. The property will be professionally cleaned before your arrival and you will feel right at home as soon as you walk in the door.
The house was built in 1950 as a single story home, but we added a second story in 2007. With that addition came many improvements including a brand new cool running A/C, a second story deck overlooking the yard, a huge master suite and much more!
Parking: Parking is available on the street and can accommodate many vehicles.
Neighborhood Notes: This is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood. We respect our neighbors and their property. No big parties are allowed however small social gatherings are quite fine. Please be aware of your noise level at all times. Take a walk around the block and you'll see many people outside enjoying the 'hood with their family and pets. We live on the property and are here to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable, while respecting your privacy. Please let us know if we can do anything to make your Austin experience even better!
