Pet And Family Friendly, Centrally Located With Lots Of Space

Minutes to South Congress, downtown, Whip In, HEB, Big Stacy Pool, shopping, live music, & all things SXSW and Austin City Limits (ACL). Easy access to Route 35 to drive to New Braunfels for floating the river, Gruene for shopping and dancing, and San Antonio. Easy access to 290/71 for trips to historic Wimberley and Fredericksburg. The house is truly in the heart of everything Austin and Central Texas has to offer.

You’ll rent our residence and have the entire house with a dog door to the large backyard (no worries about returning to let your dog out) in an historic neighborhood with tons of character. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Master bedroom and both bathrooms are newly renovated. Free WiFi and cable with HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc. Outdoor fire pit, outdoor TV, a tree house, and numerous shade trees. Perfect for couples, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

The home was built in 1925 and has a lot of individuality. Recent renovations have updated and modernized much of the house. However, the original floors, doors, and windows still remain and look incredible. Guests have access to the entire house and yard as well as the outdoor fire pit, a swing set, and a treehouse any kid would love.

Travis Heights is one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Austin. As the city continues to expand both upward and outward, Travis Heights remains a beautiful pocket of unique single family homes, rolling hills, shade trees, and unquestioned personality. Lying within the heart of "weird" Austin, you have easy access to everything the city has to offer.

There is free on-site, covered parking for two cars. 7 minute walk to Metro Bus Route 331 stop.
