Description
Perfect opportunity UT students, staff, and faculty near the University of Texas and on the UT shuttle route. Refrigerator, washer and dryer are included! Prepare to fall in love with this bright and open Central Austin bungalow that has all the charm of historic 1940s Austin AND the comfort and peace of mind that comes with modern updates. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home features an open, roommate-friendly floor plan, storybook windows, updated kitchen and bath, and laundry inside the house. The sweet front porch with its adorable porch swing welcomes you through the front door, where you'll find real refinished hardwood floors, original shiplap accent walls, and living and dining areas that flow seamlessly into the big kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, it's been thoughtfully updated with tons of cabinets, upgraded appliances including a gas range, an oversized farmhouse sink, and quartz countertops. This house has built-ins in every room - display shelves and storage in the dining area, seating in the breakfast nook, storage under the delightful bay window seat in one of the bedrooms, and a dressing table and shelves in the bathroom. The bathroom nods to the original era of the home with its vintage tile and decorative ceiling, while allowing you to feel relaxed and refreshed with its recently installed shower and double vanity. Outside, the front and back yards are both nice-sized and fully fenced. This location is perfect for anyone that prefers cycling or using public transport but there's plenty of parking for 2-3 vehicles in the driveway, and the detached 1-car garage gives you additional flexibility for parking, storage, or getting creative. You probably already know what a great location this is, but just in case you're new to Austin, this home is close to Downtown, The University of Texas, St. David's Medical Center, Mueller, and all the shopping, restaurants, and fun that Central Austin is known for. You will love this home!
