Room Description

Private Bedroom in Shared East Austin Home, furnished, utilities included.

Enjoy comfortable living in a private bedroom within a beautifully maintained shared single-family home, located in one of East Austin's most convenient and sought-after neighborhoods.

The bedroom offers a quiet and comfortable space with access to a shared full bathroom. Residents also share the spacious living room, dining area, fully equipped kitchen, laundry area, and the home's exceptional outdoor spaces, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment.

The home features modern appliances throughout, including a brand-new gas range and oven, a sleek microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer, and dryer, all less than two years old. A Ring video doorbell provides added security, and the landlord is open to discussing reasonable security enhancements if requested.

One of the property's standout features is the expansive, tree-shaded backyard. Mature trees provide a peaceful setting with plenty of space to relax, work outdoors, or entertain. The backyard also includes a deck with a gazebo, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding in the evening, as well as a storage shed for bicycles and other outdoor equipment.

The location is hard to beat. The home is just one block from a popular food truck park, within half a mile of many of East Austin's acclaimed restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and local businesses, and approximately one mile (about a 5 7 minute drive) from Downtown Austin and the Texas Capitol. Major employers, entertainment, parks, and nightlife are all within easy reach.

This room is an excellent fit for a working professional, graduate student, traveling healthcare professional, or anyone seeking a clean, comfortable home with convenient access to downtown Austin.

The security deposit is fully refunded at the end of stay provided the room is clean and there's no damage to anything in the house.

Tenant Responsibilities
Tenant is responsible for keeping their rooms clean, and will need to coordinate with housemates to keep common areas like shared bathroom and kitchen clean.

If you're looking for an affordable private bedroom in a well-maintained home with modern amenities, beautiful outdoor space, and an outstanding East Austin location, this is a great place to call home.

    "It has a good mix of 'old East Austin' and new, modern establishments. The neighborhood is very walkable, with everything we need (restaurants, shops, etc.) close by. And it's a quick walk to downtown."

    "The neighborhood is diverse as far as age goes, so there is a mix of families and a younger generation. But even the younger professional generation is pretty subdued in my neighborhood. It's definitely not a college student area with parties or anything."

    "Though Austin schools have been criticized, the Blackshear Elementary school is in the top 10 in AISD. We have 4th Fridays on 11th Street where restaurants and retailers join with residents to celebrate our neighborhood. Quick jaunt to the airport, too, without the noise - airlines usually fly away from our neighborhood - incoming/outgoing. And there is Metrorail nearby. Truly a changing community with inclusion for old and new."
