Summary:
A vibrant, character-filled home in East Austin - 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, sleeps 10, and pets are welcome. The living room makes a statement with a bold red ceiling and eclectic art. Open kitchen and living area flow to your own backyard with a gas grill and fire pit. Part of a 2-home duplex; book both units to sleep 20.
The Space:
Unit B is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sleeping up to 10 - with its own entrance, kitchen, living area, and backyard.
The ground floor sets the tone immediately. The living room is centered around a dramatic red tray ceiling, fluffy globe pendants, and an eclectic mix of art - Asian-inspired photography, neon signs, cherry blossom branches, and a Buddha bust that somehow all works together. The kitchen is fully equipped with a large center island that seats 4, gas range, stainless appliances, and teal subway tile throughout.
Also on the ground floor: a primary bedroom with 2 queen beds and a private ensuite bathroom, plus a half bath off the main living area.
Upstairs you'll find 2 more bedrooms - one king with a painted ceiling accent and tree views on 2 sides, one with 2 queens dressed in a retro red-stripe theme with cassette tape and camera art. A shared full bath and in-unit washer and dryer round it out.
Out back, a gravel patio sits under a covered wood-ceiling overhang with a fire pit and seating.
Guest Access:
Guests have full access to Unit B and its backyard. Unit A, Unit A's backyard, driveway, and garage are not included and should not be accessed.
The Neighborhood:
This home sits in East Austin's MLK neighborhood - one of the city's most well-established and genuinely local pockets. You're about 4 miles from downtown, close to Mueller, and minutes from the airport.
The East Austin food and bar scene is right at your doorstep. Micklethwait Craft Meats for some of the best BBQ in the city, Jacoby's for ranch-to-table dinner on the Colorado River, Contigo for a great patio night, and Este for coastal Mexican that's worth the wait. East 6th and Manor Road are both close for bars, coffee, and whatever else the group is into.
Getting Around:
Easily get around on foot, by car, bike, rideshare, etc.
Other Things to Note:
Please note: the backyard is not fully fenced in - do not let your pet off-leash as they can escape.
