    What's special

    Unit B: This charming mid-century modern duplex unit sits on a corner lot with no shared interior walls the two units are connected only by a common carport roofline, giving you extra privacy compared to a typical duplex. The home has been substantially upgraded behind the scenes: all-new plumbing, sewer lines, and electrical (matching the same extensive upgrades done at our other Barton Skyway property), plus a brand-new roof and fresh exterior paint completed in 2025. A high-efficiency A/C system keeps the unit comfortable while helping manage energy costs. Active Google Fiber service is already running in the unit, so tech professionals, gamers, and streaming enthusiasts can have high-speed internet from day one. Inside, you'll find a spacious front yard with mature shade trees, a private fenced backyard with a covered patio, a cozy living area centered around a fireplace, an updated kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms with wood-look flooring throughout. A functional home-office nook makes this a great fit for remote or hybrid workers, and the carport provides covered parking. Location is a standout: a 5-minute walk to the South Lamar Rapid Metro stop and the Barton Creek Greenbelt entrance puts you close to some of Austin's best hiking and outdoor access, plus neighborhood favorites like Matt's El Rancho, Phil's Ice House, and Kerbey Lane Cafe. Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool are also within easy reach. All applicants must complete an in-person walkthrough of the unit either with a verified local representative or licensed agent before any application or lease will be processed. We do not accept remote/virtual tours, sight-unseen applications, or leases signed without a verified in-person visit. Unit B: This unit is available October 1, 2026. A two-year lease is preferred (locks in your rate and protects you from any rent increase for a full 24 months), though a one-year lease is also available. Rent is $1,975/month, and tenants are responsible for all utilities. One carport parking space is included. Tenants are responsible for lawn care and yard maintenance. Since this is one side of a duplex, many tenants coordinate a shared lawn service with their neighboring unit, or split the responsibility between households either approach works well here. Pets are welcome dogs up to 50 lbs, maximum 2 pets, $500 pet deposit (no additional pet rent). Please note current weight at time of application. Security deposit is $1,975 (equal to one month's rent), plus the $500 pet deposit if applicable. Renters insurance with a minimum $100,000 liability limit is required for the lease term. Smoking and vaping are not permitted in the unit. As the owner is a licensed Texas real estate agent, an Information About Brokerage Services (IABS) form will be provided at first contact this is a standard disclosure and doesn't obligate you to anything. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis (based on whichever comes later: completed application or fee payment), with a $100 application fee for a single applicant or $150 for two applicants, covering application processing, background, and credit checks. An in-person property walkthrough (by the applicant or a verified representative on their behalf) is required before any application is processed. This policy is in place to protect both parties and cannot be waived.
