Nice open 3 bedroom, 2 bath house in back of property just off Guadalupe and 32nd street. Owners are building a house on the front of the property, but it is almost done, no heavy construction, and during a week and a half stay, we heard nothing, including street noise from Guadalupe. It is a bit like a “mother in law’s” apartment in the back of the property, but we felt there was plenty of privacy and a separate entrance. Access is either through a stone path that runs alongside the main house from the street, or an “ally way” that cuts in between the block. This is quite common in Austin, and the ally is just a back driveway. Completely safe. Consequently, the house is tucked back there and quite quiet and private.
Owners lived in this house before they built the one in front, and it has recently been remodeled. Good size kitchen with enough cookware to make meals or have a small dinner party. Patio in front and behind house with charcoal grill and a couple of chairs. Open family room with vaulted ceiling, slate floors, tv with wifi and regular channels, plenty of comfortable seating. Downstairs bedroom and separate bath are very nice. Upstairs is a small bedroom and the master bedroom and separate bath. Master is big enough, and bright. Could use a dresser, but plenty of shelves and hanging room in closet. Upstairs bathroom is full, but the free standing tub/shower is a bit challenging to use. Works though, and nicely decorated.
Oh, and they provide EVERYTHING as far as sundries go. Soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, EVO, vinegar, spices etc. etc.
Parking right next to house or on street.
Several walkable restaurants, a market, yoga.
Would stay here again. Very considerate hosts.
