TREETOP TREASURE! Completely updated South Austin (SOCO) garage apartment with a treehouse feel. Across the street from spring-fed Stacy Pool (free) and the Austin Hike and Bike trails that connect you to all of downtown and more. Inside, everything is new, from counters to cabinets to the furnishings and it comes with everything you need! Off-street parking for 2 cars. Situated 5 minutes from the SOCO (South Congress) shopping and dining district, and just 5-10 minutes from downtown Austin. Three minutes from the I-35 freeway in a quiet historical classic-Austin neighborhood. Find the house from its the large Austin-original Jim Franklin original mural over the driveway. (This piece, now nearly 40 years old, was featured on the local PBS station (KLRU) every night at signoff for nearly 10 years.) Enter through the private doorway from the driveway, pass the washer-dryer nook, and take the oak staircase up to the second-floor apartment, which has recently been completely modernized, with cherrywood cabinets, tile backsplash, and quartz countertops -- cooks will love the gas range and oven. New appliances throughout, including fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. (When you need the washer and dryer, you'll find them tucked under the stairs.) The large bathroom is fully updated, with a large walk-in fully tiled shower and dual sinks. Bedrooms are spacious and equipped with queen-sized beds and luxury bedding. Relax in the open-plan living area while easily talking with friends in the full-featured kitchen. Enjoy Egyptian and Latin American art, while you browse Austin dining, musical, or outdoor options with the fast wireless Internet. When you look out from any room, you'll see nothing but treetops from almost every window! While the inside living space is super comfortable and new, the real showcase for this place is its location -- literally minutes from downtown, blocks from some of the most iconic eating in Austin, across-the-street access to the spring-fed Stacy Park Pool, which is free year-round, and at the South Austin terminus of the extensive Austin Hike and Bike trail system. From there, you can walk or ride along beautiful Blunn Creek to almost anywhere in downtown Austin, including the expansive trails along the Colorado River which runs through the city. To learn more, Google "Blunn Creek Greenbelt Austin." It starts across the street and runs all the way to the Colorado River. Walk it in the mornings -- it's wonderful! The neighborhood is a real neighborhood, with all the things you'd expect -- easy access to grocery stores, pharmacies, food, shopping and so much more As they say here, 78704 is not a zip code -- it is a state of mind, and you see those special five numbers proudly displayed all over the area. Side note -- when we lived in this house and our kids were teenagers, they occupied the garage apartment. When my son grew up and got married, he and his bride lived here until they were able to save and buy their own place. While we now live in New Braunfels, there has been a lot of our family history unfold between these walls! Owner pays gas and water. Tennant pays electricity and cable/Internet. Open to a 12-month lease or longer.
