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.
