Charming, Recently Renovated Home with Premium Features Perfect for Comfort and Privacy
This home is truly one of a kind, offering a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that sets it apart from typical rental properties. Recently remodeled with the finest materials, this home was designed to be a forever home, and it shows in every corner. From the kitchen to the bath, the quality is unmatched, making it a truly special place to live.
Key Features:
Chef's Kitchen: Designed with function and style in mind, the kitchen features marble countertops, a deep sink, and a commercial-grade faucet with sprayer for quick clean-up. The real wood cabinets are finished with milk paint, and there's a butcher block with extra deep storage drawers for added convenience. High-end KitchenAid appliances, including a 5-burner stove and dishwasher, round out this gourmet kitchen.
Remodeled Throughout: Every major update in this home is less than 2 years old. From the kitchen and bathroom to the new dryer and garbage disposal, you'll enjoy modern amenities and superior quality materials throughout.
Slate Bathroom: The bathroom is a true standout, with slate walls and brand-new fixtures, including a toilet and sink installed less than a year ago. Enjoy a sleek, spa-like feel with no old house plumbing worries.
Energy Efficient and Comfortable: The home has been thoughtfully upgraded for efficiency, including new insulation in half of the house for improved energy savings. The gas hot water heater is only 4 years old and highly energy-efficient. Dual-pane Anderson fiberglass windows ensure both beauty and effective temperature control year-round.
Custom Woodwork: The attention to detail extends to every corner. The hand-finished, solid-core wood doors, including bedroom and bathroom doors, provide superior soundproofing for added privacy. Custom wood window casings were crafted to perfectly fit each window, enhancing both the aesthetic and functionality of the home.
Natural Light and Privacy: Full-length windows in the bedrooms allow natural light to flood the rooms, while the private backyard fully enclosed with wood fencing provides an ideal outdoor retreat.
Non-Toxic Paint & Materials: Enjoy peace of mind with non-toxic, VOC-free paints and finishes throughout the home. All paints used are by ECOS, ensuring a healthy living environment.
High-Quality Laundry Appliances: The garage features a washer and dryer, with the dryer being only 2 years old and in excellent condition.
While this home is compact, it's packed with thoughtful upgrades and high-quality materials that you won't find in most rentals. Perfect for those who appreciate the finer details and want a space that feels more like a home than a rental.
Location Location Location!: This house is priced for the high quality of the interior and when living in Austin, location is everything. If your from South Austin you know how long it takes to drive from Ben White and South Congress or I-35 versus going all the way down I-35 to William Cannon (another 30-40 min in traffic) or trying to cut over from Ben White to Manchaca and going anywhere south of Stassney, especially as far as William Cannon is another 40 minute drive anytime between 4 pm and 6:30. You could bike faster. Avoid all this traffic by popping to the South Side of the coveted South Congress.
At ANY of the day you can pop over to Town Lake or Central Market, or HEB with no traffic on back roads and minimal time on main roads. The ratio of benefit of saved time/ cost of house is huge for this spot. You don't even have to drive through a windy neighborhood, because this place is right across from the park. IT is walkable to coffee shops and restaurants, or even South Congress, the coolest hang on Sundays.
Gardens & Outdoor Amenities: The 0.3 acre yard is a hidden gem, filled with a variety of plants that have flourished since the photos were taken. A large front and back porch more than doubles the living space, providing plenty of room for outdoor living and relaxation. The fenced-in chicken coop comes with a fenced in garden are to keep them off the patio and out of the garden. A 90 sq ft garden shed is painted to look like a red barn. It is water poor and can be used for storage or garden tools, or a private space in the winter. For garden enthusiasts, the property features two raised beds and one in-ground garden, all receiving full-day winter sun perfect for growing vegetables during the best growing season. The beds are enriched with organic compost and mulch, ensuring a chemical-free growing environment. You could easily grow enough produce to feed 2-4 people. One of the garden beds is currently empty, while the other showcases ornamental native plants.
The front yard is thoughtfully landscaped with over 100 native plants, accented by a stunning Texas limestone wall and boulders. A locking limestone mailbox adds to the charm and security of the space.
Convenience & Location: Beyond the garden, the property is ideally located just across the street from a park and within walking distance to cafes, bars, a dance hall, breweries, and coworking spaces giving you the perfect balance of tranquility and access to local amenities.
No pets without a $100 month/pet rent increase.
