About this property

Best location in Austin! Walk to bars, shops, food

  • Stay in one of Austin’s best locations: tucked inside a quiet, beautiful neighborhood just two blocks from South Congress. Walk to coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars, and live music, then come home to a peaceful 3BR retreat with stylish Austin charm, a cozy lounge, stocked kitchen, vinyl nook, patio, and private 2-car garage.

    Inside, the home has a warm, creative Austin feel with vintage-inspired decor, natural light, comfortable bedrooms, and plenty of space to relax between adventures. The living area is cozy and inviting, the kitchen is fully stocked for easy meals at home, and upstairs you’ll find a vinyl-listening nook that’s perfect for unwinding after a day out in the city.



    Step outside to enjoy a quiet morning coffee on the patio, or return after a night on South Congress and enjoy having your own peaceful space away from the crowds.
