About this property
Urban gem perfect for work & play in heart of Austin
Enjoy staying at our Austin urban oasis.
Our home is ideal for a medium-term stay for couples or families who are relocating to Austin, remote workers, traveling healthcare professionals or university professors.
Downstairs is an open floor plan with a sunken living room, dining area, and chef's kitchen with a large island. The living room is equipped with a 65" TV, gas fireplace, ceiling speakers (for music), and a Victrola turntable with both Bluetooth and auxiliary inputs. You'll be able to cook like a pro in our kitchen with a 5 burner gas stove and oven, microwave, blender, and all necessary kitchen implements. We are happy to leave many pantry staples and specialty items for your use (oils, vinegars, flours, panko, etc). Replacement of specialty items (e.g. sesame oil) if completely used would be appreciated but not necessary.
There are two bedrooms downstairs. The guest room has a queen bed with a 4-inch memory foam mattress topper and luxury bamboo sheets. There is a generous wall closet and a shelving unit with 4 drawers for clothing. A shared guest bath is next to the office and the guest room and has a full-sized bath and shower. The smaller room is best used as an office with a large corner desk and wall-mounted monitor with an HDMI inputs. If you plan to use this room for sleeping, there is a new Sealy futon that is on the small side, best for a single small adult or two children. There is a small closet in the office with room for hanging clothes.
On the way up the stairs, you will encounter an array of concert posters from our 20-year collection as lovers of the Austin music scene. A hallway office with excellent natural light and a large desk can be used for remote work. The primary bedroom suite has a new queen mattress, allergy mattress cover, and pillow covers with luxury bamboo sheets. The bath has dual sinks, a large, glass-enclosed shower and a soaking tub. Our walk-in closet has plenty of space to store your clothing and personal items. A private balcony with chairs and tables looks over our backyard and towards the heritage pecan tree.
The backyard was just renovated to provide an inviting, modern space to enjoy with family and friends. We have a gas grill, ample seating, string lights for nighttime and outdoor speakers. The front porch has a small four-top table for dining as well.
There are exterior cameras which owners are able to use in order to enforce occupancy limits and adhere to the no party rule.
The Austin noise ordinance is from 10 PM to 7 AM. This is a residential area with numerous families and older couples. Please respect them.
This is our part-time home and certain areas will be locked or cordoned off (such as storage areas under the stairs and some cabinets in the laundry room). Please respect the privacy of areas marked as not for guest use. There is ample storage space for your own items in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and laundry room. Laundry and cleaning items will be fully stocked for your use.
