About this House

How to be happy: live in the unique and welcoming front unit of this 1945 East Austin duplex. Escape from the city in the middle of town! Enjoy the high ceilings, chandeliers, fireplace with vintage mantelpiece, eat-in bar in kitchen, tons of light throughout from the numerous large windows. The bathroom's cast iron tub keeps the water warm while you soak. There's plenty of room in the walk-in and other closets. A radiant barrier in the attic lowers the bills for the central heat and air-conditioning by keeping out summer heat. Relax in the spacious magical porch where you can enjoy the wild yard with the continuous company of birds, bees, and butterflies. Garden, or let nature do the work. Cut flowers for your table. Your own little woods has a cottonwood that sounds like a creek when the slightest breeze rustles its leaves. Close to Mueller shopping and eateries. Bus-stop nearby. Walk to Skylark, Whatta Burger. A few minutes ride to UT or downtown.

One year's lease with automatic renewal. Owner divides gas charge between both duplex units. No smoking. Indoor cats and other small animals except dogs are welcome. A/C filter must be changed monthly. Furniture and art that is present now must be removed by owner at tenant's request at time of rental or kept in good condition.

    "Over the 15 years we've lived here the neighborhood has significantly changed. Of course the changes in Austin over that time are pretty drastic and significant as well. We love this place, it's like a little bit of country in the City. Especially pulling into our small neighborhood on Pecan Springs from the 51st Street side before it doglegs up to Springdale. The amount of work we've put into our home and the landscaping has made it difficult coming to terms with leaving. Have to look at the bright side; change is good."
