First-class comfort awaits in this light-filled loft with soaring wood ceilings, privately attached to our historic 1930 home. Quiet, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, the space is ideally located just one mile from the UT Memorial Tower and 1.5 miles from the Texas Capitol—close to everything, yet blissfully removed from downtown’s bustle. We’re delighted to welcome up to two guests who want proximity without the noise.
Set in the charming Pemberton Heights neighborhood (west of UT) and within earshot of the UT Memorial Tower bells, this 500-square-foot, one-bedroom garage apartment feels like a private oasis. The loft sits above our garage, accessed by stairs leading to its own private entrance.
Inside, you’ll find oak floors true to the home’s original character, a dramatic 15-foot vaulted ceiling clad in vintage reclaimed wood, and a beautifully appointed living space. A murphy bed with an exceptionally comfortable organic queen-size mattress is dressed in high-thread-count sheets and a light down comforter. Relax on the sofa and enjoy the 55” flat-screen TV, or unwind in the spa-like bathroom (shower only) stocked with fresh towels, a blow dryer, and thoughtful extras in case you forget something.
The kitchenette includes a Nespresso machine with plenty of capsules for your morning coffee, dishwasher, microwave, small refrigerator (often stocked with a little beer, wine, and milk—though availability can vary, so feel free to ask), and all the plates, cups, bowls, and silverware you’ll need.
That said, who really wants to cook while visiting ATX with all the delicious options?
Happy to send you my list of favs.
The apartment is tucked away on a quiet half-acre lot in one of central Austin’s most historic and beautiful neighborhoods, yet offers easy access in and out of the area. Free parking is available in front of our home..
You’ll also have free Wi-Fi and a dedicated desk with an ergonomic chair if work calls. A central vacuum system helps keep the apartment as dust-free as possible. Pets and smoking are not permitted.
If you arrive early or need a late departure, we’re happy to help store your luggage

While this is our home, the apartment has a completely separate entrance. You may occasionally see us through our kitchen window if we’re home. Since the loft is above the garage, you may hear us leave in the morning or return in the evening, though we rarely depart before 8 a.m. or stay out past 11 p.m.
Quiet, charming, and ideally located, this loft offers the best of Austin living—historic surroundings, peaceful nights, and effortless access to the city’s most beloved spots.
