THE SPACE:

This historic and meticulously maintained South Austin bungalow provides every creature comfort you could desire:

The upstairs master bedroom includes a King bed, spacious hanging closet, ample drawer space, a large home office with desk, ergonomic chair, and whiteboard, and a wall-hung smart TV. A portable AC unit is also available for extra cooling power on those particularly hot summer days. The ensuite bathroom includes a scenic view of the backyard and pool and a walk-in, dual- headed shower.

The downstairs bedroom is similarly equipped with a King bed and wall-hung smart TV as well as two small hanging closets and ample drawer space. The ensuite bathroom includes shower-bathtub combo, a large vanity, and ample storage space.

As you enter the front door of the home, you are greeted by a spacious dining room just off the kitchen with standard seating for 4 but with sufficient space and additional seating available for groups of up to six.

Through the rustic barn door off the dining room, you will descend into a converted garage lounge that tend to be the primary in-door hang-out area. This space include a huge smart TV and Bluetooth vinyl record player connected to premium Elac speakers. A gorgeous leather couch can easily be converted into an additional twin sleeping bed with the extra bedding provided. A lavish bar includes a kegerator with built in taps, wine fridge, and mini fridge. Additionally, the space includes a dart board and several other games for guests' entertainment. A large glass sliding door offers beautiful views and easy access to the backyard and pool.

Through the other side of the dining room is a meticulously appointed kitchen with every culinary accessory you might need to feel right at home including William Sonoma pots, pans, and cutlery. A Keurig machine with coffee pods are provided. The home also includes an electric tea kettle and French press if for the baristas who prefer to go a bit more gourmet with their more java routine. Just off the kitchen there is a large pantry with all of your cooking and cleaning basics including spices, oils, and cleaning supplies.

On the far side of the kitchen nestled against a large picture window overlooking the backyard garden and pool is a cozy breakfast table for two with perfect lighting and the most serene setting to begin your morning.

There is also a laundry room on the main floor with stacked washer and dryer all essential cleaning supplies.

NEIGHBORHOOD:

Bouldin Creek is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Austin. It is located in the heart of South Austin between South Congress and Lamar. Bouldin Creek is centrally located around Zilker Park, Barton Springs, Downtown Austin, and South Congress. The neighborhood is very safe and walkable with world class shopping and dining minutes away. There is a top-notch convenience store called 1st Food Mart with craft beers and all essentials 2 blocks away. There are also several very popular restaurants across the street including Elizabeth St. Cafe, a local fixture for casual Vietnamese fare. My personal favorite BBQ join, Terry Black's, is a casual 0.7 mile walk from the house. I advise going at off hours if you want to avoid lines.

GETTING AROUND:

Driveway parking for one car. Ample street parking. Electric scooters are prevalent in the neighborhood. Ride shares are always available. Just a short 10 minute walk from South Congress restaurants and shopping. 1 mile to Lady Bird Lake running trail and dog park. 1.5 miles to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. 15 minute Uber ride from the airport.

    Great location in Austin. Older home with lots of charm and the pool is really nice. I had issues with check-in and the code was wrong so that was stressful. It was a great house for a quick trip.

    The pool does it! Location is great, the kitchen is well stocked, as are the bathrooms, there are plenty of towels, and the beds are huge and comfy...but the pool! The back yard and the pool are spectacular!

    Sadly, the listing photos are much nicer than the home today. Almost all the back yard furniture is gone, and what is left is ratty and old. On our arrival the pool had grass clumps, leaves, bugs, and worms with no scoop net. Dog poop, cigarette butts, and dead leaf piles were throughout the back patio. Inside furniture is old, worn, and stained, though the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was disappointing. The freezer was filthy with melted and re-frozen water, with mixed-in red food substance in a drawer, and an open bag of ice (the ice maker doesn’t work). Frig drawers are broken and don’t work. The large stove burner handle is gone and not usable. On 2 nights a live band was playing two houses down. It didn’t bother us, but you could definitely hear and feel the bass vibrations. We found 2” long dead and live cockroaches in the kitchen, TV room, and upstairs mobile air conditioner. We don’t have these in the PNW, so this was disturbing. The listing photos are either quite old or there is little attention to keeping up the home. Communication with Drew and John was cordial and timely. John offered to mow the lawn and apologized for the yard condition. We informed him of the cockroaches after the initial dying one appeared in the kitchen, and he said that is a condition of living in the south. The pool was nice and we used it daily. In spite of good reviews the home seemed poorly kept up, rustic, and of questionable cleanliness, especially at this price point.

    The Owner/Host was very helpful and gracious. The backyard with pool was perfect for relaxing or swimming laps. Original back door and bathroom door and updated barn door are tricky, but function - be patient and enjoy the charm

    The house is great, but the backyard is spectacular. The pool is shaded most of the day by large trees so you can enjoy the cool water on a hot day without overdoing it under the sun. The place is also conveniently located, mere minutes from downtown. But in a quiet and quaint neighborhood.
