Spacious 3BR House | 3 Private En Suite Baths | Walk to East Austin Favorites
Available for the first time in five years after being continuously occupied since August 2021, this East Austin home offers generous living spaces, abundant storage, and a location that's hard to beat.
If you're looking for a home with personality instead of another cookie-cutter rental, welcome home.
Tucked away on a quiet residential street in one of East Austin's most walkable neighborhoods, this thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom home offers something that's surprisingly hard to find: every bedroom has its own private, en suite bathroom.
The Bedrooms: the oversized primary suite features an enormous dressing room with built-in wardrobe storage and a spacious bathroom with a vintage-style, red clawfoot soaking tub. A second oversized bedroom offers flexible bonus space that's perfect for a home office, reading nook, workout area, or creative studio, while the third bedroom has its own exterior entrance and tiny outdoor nook ideal for roommates with different schedules, guests, or anyone who appreciates a little extra privacy.
The Common Areas: the bright, open living and dining areas flow into an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and an exceptionally large raised pantry with room for food, small appliances, and bulk storage. A dedicated laundry room with a brand-new washer and dryer, plus additional storage, makes everyday living easy.
Throughout the home you'll find warm wood floors, Saltillo tile, skylights, architectural arches, a large porch and fenced in yard, and updates that preserve the home's character while making it comfortable for modern living.
One of the home's best features is the oversized covered front porch overlooking a peaceful front garden, where blooming passionflowers and morning glories attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators throughout the warmer months. It's the perfect place for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or simply watching the neighborhood go by.
Leave the car at home and walk to neighborhood favorites like Nixta Taqueria, Community Garden, Houndstooth Coffee, JuiceLand, Austin Daily Press, The Wheel, Sour Duck Market, Casa de Luz East, and the new Tiny Grocer just around the corner. The MLK MetroRail Station and multiple bus routes are also within walking distance, making it easy to get downtown and beyond while still enjoying the feel of a quiet residential street.
