Spacious 3BR House | 3 Private En Suite Baths | Walk to East Austin Favorites
Rare East Austin roommate setup: 3 bedrooms, 3 private en-suite bathrooms every bedroom has its own full bath.
Available now with flexible move-in.
For the first time in five years after being continuously occupied since August 2021, this East Austin home is available to rent and 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.

This home has been thoughtfully updated over the years while preserving the character that makes older Austin homes so special. If you're looking for generous room sizes, flexible spaces, abundant storage, and a neighborhood you can truly enjoy on foot, you'll feel right at home here.
Note: in August, the home was refreshed with fresh paint, repairs, servicing, deep cleaning and other updates to ensure it's ready for its next residents after five years of continuous occupancy. Photos are a mix of before and after the repairs and deep clean, and I tried my best to note them as such.
Tour requests will be reviewed along with your renter profile; a former tenant of the house who lived there for 2 years will be helping out with tours, so you'll get the inside scoop!
Bonus feature: An Australian Labradoodle makes a few guest appearances in the listing photos. Sadly, he's not included with the lease :)
Owner can flex on exact move in-date, 12 month lease minimum.
Renters responsible for all utilities. Typical occupancy is 3 but owner is open to discussion, depending on the circumstance. Subletting is allowed with approval by landlord-owner.
Pets allowed with $50 security deposit; flexible pet policy for cats and dogs. Fully fenced in front yard. No smoking inside.
Note: a 490 square foot efficiency unit shares the rear wall of the house, but its entrance is around back and completely separate from Unit A; zero to minimal sound carries through the rear wall.
Property is managed by the owner, who lived in the back house as a renter and then was lucky enough to buy the property in June 2021. She's worked in education, helped run a local nonprofit, and consulted about education equity and cares deeply about the neighborhood and being a great landlord.
