About this property
12th Street Retreat I Walk to Downtown
Step into a piece of Austin history at Legacy on 12th — a beautifully restored 2 bed, 1 bath home that blends history with modern comfort. This property was built by the founders of Texas’ first Black-owned mortuary, and parts of the original woodwork remain, honoring the craftsmanship and legacy of the people who built it.
While the home carries its story with pride, nearly everything has been thoughtfully updated for today’s traveler. You’ll enjoy clean, modern finishes, cozy furnishings, and a bright, welcoming space that feels both fresh and meaningful.
Located on iconic East 12th Street, you’re just minutes from downtown Austin, local coffee shops, restaurants, music venues, and some of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, a work trip, or a longer stay, this home offers something truly rare: a chance to experience Austin through a place that helped shape it.
