Experience the Ultimate East Austin Retreat at The Penick House

Welcome to The Penick House, the largest and most luxurious home in East Austin, where comfort, style, and modern convenience come together in a perfect blend. With over 3,500 sqft of living space, this stunning 5-bedroom retreat offers high ceilings, abundant natural light, and an open layout that’s perfect for both relaxation and entertainment. Furnished with premium pieces from West Elm, Four Hands, CB2, and Pottery Barn, every corner of this home exudes elegance and comfort.

The recently remodeled gourmet kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring top-of-the-line Jenn-Air and KitchenAid appliances. Whether you’re preparing a casual breakfast or a grand dinner, you’ll find everything you need, including a Jenn-Air double oven, built-in refrigerator, beverage mini fridge, and a wine fridge. For your convenience, an additional overflow fridge is available in the adjacent laundry room, and another on the back porch – perfect for keeping your supplies organized and your drinks cold.

One of the standout features of The Penick House is its state-of-the-art smart home technology. With simple voice commands like "Hey Google, open all blinds" or "Hey Google, turn off all lights," you can easily control the home’s environment to suit your needs. We’ve provided an iPad for manual operation, ensuring that you can customize your experience with ease.

Stay connected with high-speed Google Fiber WiFi, and enjoy your favorite shows and movies on any of the Smart TVs located throughout the house. For coffee enthusiasts, we offer a range of options: a standard drip coffee maker for traditionalists, a Keurig for those who prefer convenience, and stainless French presses for a more sophisticated brewing experience. And when it comes to hydration, we’ve got you covered with a reverse osmosis drinking water system located at the kitchen bar sink, which also feeds the ice maker in the fridge, ensuring you have top-shelf water quality at all times.

The Penick House’s sleeping arrangements are designed to accommodate both comfort and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for large groups or families. The upstairs master bedroom is a private sanctuary with a king-size bed, a minibar, and a private balcony offering distant views of downtown Austin.

Downstairs, the bedrooms are equally inviting. The first bedroom off the living room offers a full-size bed, a desk, and a private bathroom with a tub and shower, providing a cozy and functional space. The second bedroom across the hall is a guest favorite, featuring two twin beds, a large bathroom with double vanities, walk-in closets, a Jacuzzi tub, and a separate walk-in shower. This room also includes a luxurious massage chair, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the city.

The largest bedroom, located on the opposite side of the home near the kitchen, is a versatile space designed to accommodate multiple guests. It features two twin beds, each with trundles, and a West Elm sleeper sofa, providing a total of five beds in this room alone. There’s plenty of space for additional air mattresses if needed, making it an ideal room for children or groups. This bedroom also has an adjacent full bathroom with two sinks, a walk-in shower, and direct access to the pool area, making it convenient for those who enjoy a morning swim or a late-night dip.

Maintenance Needed

This is a very nice home that is great for large groups and in a great location, but it needs maintenance in between guests. We found all trash cans full to the brim with 9 additional bags of trash left on the ground. There was one roll of toilet paper per bathroom; we had to call for more. The pool needed cleaning. There was no hot water in the kitchen and two of the bathrooms. A maintenance man had to come out. One of the dishwashers didn't work. There were no remotes for the shades and one bed frame was broken.These things should have been fixed between guests. The property manager did send people out to help. Thank you.

Great house and pool!!

The home was a great for our group of 10. We enjoyed hanging out in the pool to cool down from the heat. Location is convenient to airport, downtown and rest of Austin. Nice to have grocery stores and shopping around the corner. It was clean and well maintained.
