About this House

What's unique:Fully furnished throughoutFully furnished single-story homeProfessionally landscaped maintained year-roundWasher and dryerGenerous counter spaceThree private baths
Property Representative: Kathryn Kitchen

There are houses. And then there are homes that make you feel something the moment you walk through the door. Bungalow 38 is the second kind.

Situated on one of Hyde Park's most beautiful tree-lined blocks one mile from the UT Tower, walkable to campus this fully furnished, single-story home is available for 3 to 6 months. Arrive with your suitcase. Everything else is already here.

THE HOME
1,800 SF, all on one story. No stairs, no wasted space, just beautifully connected rooms flowing from the chef's kitchen through the breakfast room into the living room, and straight out to the trees. Three bedrooms plus a furnished flex room (easily an office). Two queen rooms, one room with twin beds. Three private baths.

THE KITCHEN
Fully remodeled with new appliances, generous counter space, and everything you need: cookware, dishes, flatware, blender, toaster, Nespresso. You arrive. You unpack. You make coffee. That's the move-in checklist.

THE TREES
This is what people remember. The lot is so richly canopied the home lives like a treehouse. A private green oasis with two outdoor dining areas an upper terrace off the living room and a garden table with umbrella below. This is not a backyard you use sometimes. This is a backyard you live in.

THE DETAILS
 Fully furnished throughout
 Linens, bedding & towels available (completely turnkey if needed)
 2-car garage with Tesla charger
 Washer & dryer, high-speed WiFi
 Bi-monthly professional housekeeping required and included
 Professionally landscaped, maintained year-round

Hyde Park Austin's oldest neighborhood. Century-old live oaks, walkable to campus, Quack's Bakery around the corner, DKR Stadium close enough to hear the crowd on game day.

39 month furnished lease. Qualified applicants only credit, income & references required via RentSpree.
