Beautiful Historic 3/2 in scenic Bastrop, 30 minutes to East Austin, Turn Key Ready, Furnished Or Unfurnished, Fresh Air and The Outdoors, Large Covered Front And Back Porches, 1895 Build With All The Modern Comforts. Easy Commute To Austin Or An INCREDIBLE Place To Work From Home .. This beautifully refurbished home, just a few minutes walk from super fun downtown Bastrop and the Bastrop River Walk, large parks and boating, was originally built by the first African American doctor in Bastrop, in 1895. Much of the house still has those incredible 125-year-old hardwood floors and other original interior, and the whole house was recently re-done by an excellent builder who kept the old timey feel of the place while putting in all the modern amenities and tightening it all up. The interior gives you a farm house feel with beautiful repurposed and original wood on walls and ceilings, hardwood floors, tiled bathrooms, great windows all around, loads of kitchen storage, closets in each bedroom, cabinets in both bathrooms, and very high ceilings throughout the house. All beautifully re-done in farm house style within the last few years. Everything has been modernized and updated: stainless steel appliances, a refurbished classic Wedgewood stove, washer/dryer, two great full bathrooms (master bath has two sinks), marble counters all around in kitchen with a stainless steel farm style sink, brand new garbage disposal, shiny stainless steel dishwasher and large stainless fridge. Honestly, this house is awesome. Pretty new roof, HVAC, exterior paint, gutters, and insulation, plus plumbing and electrical updates, of course. This stunner sits on a corner lot, large front yard with great trees, including a massive Elm in the backyard. Backyard is quite good sized, too, fenced in with a very cool old timey lumber fence. Across the street is the elementary school and its playground/park. Friendly neighborhood, small town vibe. You can walk downtown in a few minutes, and Bastrop State Park is just a few minutes away. All types of shopping, food, bars, and outdoor opportunities just a few minutes away. Walk to the cool Colorado River! Incredible front and back porches, both covered in true Texas fashion, will keep you shaded as you relax and watch the birds, or the families out in the park or taking a bike ride. Very recently, I have stained both porches and all the fences, cleaned gutters, deep cleaned house, trimmed trees and anything else I could think of. This place is ready! The house is beautifully furnished, comfortably and in accord with the larger ascetic. Any furniture you want removed, no problem, I will store it in the enormous shed/garage in the backyard. That will still leave you 80% of the shed to do with what you want. If you want to use any or all of the furnishings, that's even easier. Due to the amazing hardwoods, I cannot allow pets in the house. I'm sorry, I love pets too. I might consider possible exceptions, but no promises and I would need to meet the animal. I'd like to get this rented as soon as possible. I need renters who can demonstrate with no uncertainty their long term ability to pay rent on time in clear, demonstrable numbers. Period. Times are crazy, and I need to protect myself, too. Also, renters who appreciate the historic beauty of this house and will take some pride in being good to it, being careful with floors, etc. And please keep the lawn looking reasonable, it's that kind of neighborhood. As the house is across from a school, not a great house for huge parties, wild nights, etc. No hard drugs, please and thank you. I am a super attentive and nice landlord, I will pick up your call at 2 a.m. and start calling plumbers if something goes wrong. I take it seriously and will be fair and responsible. I need renters of that same maturity and responsible attitude. This house is really is something special. I'd love to get the right folks moved in asap. Please only contact me if you are looking to sign a lease pretty soon, if you can demonstrate solid income for the foreseeable future, if you make at least triple the rent per month, and are a nice person who will be good to the house and reasonably responsible in the neighborhood. This lovely home would be great for a couple, a small family, or a few roomies. Fewer is better. Bedrooms are nice but not huge like newer homes, fyi. $1,700 per month, 1 month security deposit, one year minimum. Absolutely NO discrimination by me towards people of any race, gender, sexuality, nationality, etc. You can text me or write me if you are interested AND meet the above requirements. Let's not waste each other's time if your fiscal numbers don't meet the requirements. (Income of 3xrent per month, or a very big 'n healthy bank balance). I am at the house and it is available to show upon appointment after I vet your financials. All visits will be done safely in accord with Covid measures, so wear a mask and be ready to wash your hands and keep the interior tour reasonably brief. Renter pays all utilities in their own name. House is well shaded and insulated, utilities are quite reasonable. No pets due to hardwood floors but possible exceptions allowed. Parking in driveway for 2-3 cars, plus curbside in front of house. No smoking in house.
