Description

Welcome to this beautifully maintained single-family home that combines modern amenities, flexible living space, and exceptional outdoor living in one of East Austin's most convenient locations. The home features 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room that can serve as a home office, nursery, guest room, or small third bedroom to fit your lifestyle. The kitchen is equipped with a brand-new gas range and oven, along with a sleek modern microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer, and dryer, all of which are less than two years old. These updated appliances provide both convenience and peace of mind. Step outside to one of the home's most impressive features an expansive, tree-shaded backyard. Mature trees create a peaceful outdoor retreat with plenty of room for children to play, pets to roam, gardening, or entertaining family and friends. The backyard also includes a deck with a gazebo, perfect for relaxing or hosting outdoor gatherings, as well as a storage shed for tools, bicycles, and other equipment. For added convenience and peace of mind, the home is equipped with a Ring video doorbell camera. The landlord is also open to discussing reasonable security enhancements to help meet a tenant's needs. 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, and local businesses, and approximately one mile (about a 5 7 minute drive) from Downtown Austin and the Texas Capitol. You'll enjoy quick access to major employers, entertainment, nightlife, parks, and everything that makes East Austin one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. Whether you're looking for a comfortable family home, a place to work remotely, or a home close to downtown with plenty of outdoor space, this property offers a unique combination of comfort, convenience, and charm.

1. Renter is responsible for all the utilities, which shouldn't be high considering the size of the house and there is a lot of shade from trees around.
2. Renter is responsible for yard maintenance
3. Renter needs to get renter's insurance
4. If renter has any pets, there is a pet security deposit involved to cover any damage pets may cause and renter's insurance should also cover the pets

    "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."
