THE SPACE:

This historic and meticulously maintained South Austin bungalow provides every creature comfort you could desire:

The upstairs master bedroom includes a King bed, spacious hanging closet, ample drawer space, a large home office with desk, ergonomic chair, and whiteboard, and a wall-hung smart TV. A portable AC unit is also available for extra cooling power on those particularly hot summer days. The ensuite bathroom includes a scenic view of the backyard and pool and a walk-in, dual- headed shower.

The downstairs bedroom is similarly equipped with a King bed and wall-hung smart TV as well as two small hanging closets and ample drawer space. The ensuite bathroom includes shower-bathtub combo, a large vanity, and ample storage space.

As you enter the front door of the home, you are greeted by a spacious dining room just off the kitchen with standard seating for 4 but with sufficient space and additional seating available for groups of up to six.

Through the rustic barn door off the dining room, you will descend into a converted garage lounge that tend to be the primary in-door "hang-out" area. This space include a huge smart TV and Bluetooth vinyl record player connected to premium Elac speakers. A gorgeous leather couch can easily be converted into an additional twin sleeping bed with the extra bedding provided. A lavish bar includes a kegerator with built in taps, wine fridge, and mini fridge. Additionally, the space includes a dart board and several other games for guests' entertainment. A large glass sliding door offers beautiful views and easy access to the backyard and pool.

Through the other side of the dining room is a meticulously appointed kitchen with every culinary accessory you might need to feel right at home including William Sonoma pots, pans, and cutlery. A Keurig machine with coffee pods are provided. The home also includes an electric tea kettle and French press if for the baristas who prefer to go a bit more gourmet with their more java routine. Just off the kitchen there is a large pantry with all of your cooking and cleaning basics including spices, oils, and cleaning supplies.

On the far side of the kitchen nestled against a large picture window overlooking the backyard garden and pool is a cozy breakfast table for two with perfect lighting and the most serene setting to begin your morning.

There is also a laundry room on the main floor with stacked washer and dryer all essential cleaning supplies.

NEIGHBORHOOD:

Bouldin Creek is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Austin. It is located in the heart of South Austin between South Congress and Lamar. Bouldin Creek is centrally located around Zilker Park, Barton Springs, Downtown Austin, and South Congress. The neighborhood is very safe and walkable with world class shopping and dining minutes away. There is a top-notch convenience store called 1st Food Mart with craft beers and all essentials 2 blocks away. There are also several very popular restaurants across the street including Elizabeth St. Cafe, a local fixture for casual Vietnamese fare. My personal favorite BBQ join, Terry Black's, is a casual 0.7 mile walk from the house. I advise going at off hours if you want to avoid lines.

GETTING AROUND:

Driveway parking for one car. Ample street parking. Electric scooters are prevalent in the neighborhood. Ride shares are always available. Just a short 10 minute walk from South Congress restaurants and shopping. 1 mile to Lady Bird Lake running trail and dog park. 1.5 miles to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. 15 minute Uber ride from the airport.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. It doesn't get any better than Bouldin Creek when it comes to Austin, TX. You are a stones throw from all of the city's hottest attractions without loosing any of that authentic South Austin charm. South Congress Ave, Zilker Park, Barton Creek & Barton Creek Greenbelt, Lady Bird Lake, Downtown Austin, Rainey St., and a wealth of amazing and storied restaurants are just minutes away.

What makes this property unique

In the summer months, a pool in Austin is crucial, and it is a rarity in the premium neighborhoods close to downtown. Some newer homes are installing plunge pools while my home offers a large lap pool perfect for escaping the summer heat with your friends. Plus, the backyard and patio are beautifully maintained with a profession grade smoker and Webber propane grill. In the winter months, you will love the cozy fire pit while you catch up with friends and relax in a the beautiful backyard replete with landscape accent lighting!
And the garage lounge is as unique as it gets - Bluetooth vinyl, premium speakers, lavish bar, darts and other games, and a cozy adult play room vibe!
