About this House

Here's the one you've been waiting for. Built in 1947 in the heart of North Loop, this bungalow has been standing since this city really was the funky, laid-back place everyone still talks about. This home didn't get torn down and turned into something generic, it got a full remodel while keeping the bones and charm that made it special. That teal front door says it all. Inside: an open kitchen with gray shaker cabinets, butcher block counters, stainless appliances, farmhouse sink, and black hex tile. Floating wood shelves and moody pendants give it a design feel. Both bedrooms are generously sized with fresh carpet, ceiling fans, and big windows. The bathroom brings spa energy with dual vanities, brushed gold mirrors, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass walk-in rain shower. Original hardwood floors refinished still carry the character straight through from 1947, so the remodel feels layered-in and charming while being fresh. Outside, the backyard just got a xeriscape refresh for easy upkeep. Move-in ready now for anyone looking to plant roots in one of Austin's most walkable pockets. This is the Austin people miss. North Loop has held onto its identity with indie coffee shops, vintage stores, neighbors who wave from the porch, while so much of the city traded that in for high-rises. You're minutes from Hyde Park, Mueller, and the Triangle, ~10 min from downtown, close to UT, and right off IH-35. This sought after neighborhood offers the real Austin people move here chasing just updated to work for how you live now. Homes like this don't sit long. Come see it before it's gone. Equal Housing Opportunity. Info deemed reliable but not guaranteed; verify square footage and lease terms independently.

    "come to know others dogs by name. It's a great place to live. We have been here three years now. On the negative side, we could use more transit in the area."

    "This neighborhood is very friendly and nice; everyone is always walking their dogs. The only downside is it’s a bit loud because of Koenig but it’s definitely not the noisiest of austin neighborhoods. Overall the neighborhood is safe as well, wouldn’t walk at night but that’s just because there aren’t many streetlights!"

    "I see people walking their dogs around all the time! And a lot of the nearby restaurants and bars are outdoor-dog-friendly. There are so many places to walk your dogs—a lot of trails, open fields, and parks. I'm not sure if there is a designated dog park nearby, though, and not all of the neighborhood streets have sidewalks."

The North Loop Ave drag is amazing, with all its shops, restaurants, and bars. There are so many people out and about strolling up and down North Loop all the way from Lamar."

    "It is very safe and offers very affordable living for a place that's still close to everything in Austin! There are also schools nearby. The age demographics are very mixed, from older college/grad students to families. It's about an eight-minute drive to two different H-E-B groceries or to the Wheatsville co-op, which has organic/specialty groceries."

    "I'm not sure why anyone would say there are sketchy areas near here - Austin is an incredibly safe city. This area is also next to one of the better high schools in Austin (none of the public high schools are particularly terrific). There is also a fair amount of stuff on North Loop, which is nice and I imagine that Highland Mall will eventually be developed thus making this area very desirable. The only downside is that the closest grocery store is one of the less nice ones and it's not all that close."
