YOU HAVE TO SEE THE YARD TO BELIEVE IT:
The small home sits further back on a very rare (for Central Austin) 1-acre, well-maintained, tree-filled yard that backs up to Shoal Creek. Because the home is situated further back on the property, it is very quiet and private. There is also a large enclosed garden and separately, a screened-in porch with a fan that also has WiFi.
LOCATION: ALLANDALE AND THE BURNET ROAD CORRIDOR
The Bungalow offers the best of all worlds: You’re 7 minutes from downtown and situated in a park-like setting on an acre. You're also 7 minutes from the Domain. The Bungalow is located in the Allandale neighborhood of Central Austin on Shoal Creek Blvd., 3 minutes from MoPac Expressway and parallel to Burnet Road as well Lamar (the primary North-South corridors in Austin).
