Are you looking for an urban lifestyle with 4 bedrooms and a yard? Consider this Travis Heights gem 2 blocks from Lady Bird Lake's Hike & Bike Trail. 7,000sf+ lot. Excellent set up for 4 roommates each with private bath. (Now listing for Academic Year 2026-2027)
Two masters and two smaller bedrooms/offices/home gym each with attached full bathroom (4) make an excellent set-up for roommates or families who like to entertain. Walk to South Congress, Rainey Street, or Downtown. Travis Heights embodies what makes Austin so cool...eclectic residents who like to live close to the music scene, locally owned fine restaurants, massive trees, & proximity to outdoor recreation. Quick commute to most employers or the airport; convenient to MoPac Express.
The 2780sf home has large windows and high ceilings. The upstairs master is about 800 sf. and has its own full bath + minisplit to keep it comfortable year round. This central property is the ideal spot to explore Austin's various neighborhoods. Remodeling? The owner specializes in customized rentals to suit any needs: academics for one semester, start ups, travelling medical professionals. Guarantors considered.
Large kitchen with distinctive tile; expansive living area opens to formal dining, and two masters (one up, one down shown here w/twin beds but can fit a king). Both masters have walk-in closets (again, rare in historic neighborhoods).
Downstairs master has a large bathroom with dual sinks, a Jacuzzi soaking tub and separate shower.
Upstairs master ~800sf has its own mini split to ensure comfort for all members of your household as well as a full bath with dual sinks.
Bedroom 3 has an ensuite full bath; shown here with a king bed.
Bedroom 4 has an ensuite full bath and fits a double bed or would make a good office set up w/Google Fiber or home gym.
Convenient to downtown, airport, South Congress, Lady Bird Lake, Stacy Park, Rainey Street, and much more. Steps to the Boardwalk: turn left to reach downtown on foot in about 25 minutes (you'll appreciate the cooling breezes from the lake) or turn right to reach the funky East Side.
Relax on the front porch of this tranquil street with vintage and upscale homes. Heritage trees filter the sun, including the Texas' Oldest Persimmon. Room to grow vegetables; sprinkler system. Kitchen boasts new stainless steel appliances and gas range w/convection oven. Storage galore. Includes refrigerator and front-loading W/D. Driveway & unrestricted street parking. Not included: shed.
Oh, what fun you will have in this hip neighborhood. Owner is a licensed realtor/property manager: no inquiries from realtors unless you represent a tenant ; no STR companies.
Ask about furnished, bills paid, less than 12 months options.
