Pet-Friendly Mid-Century Home Walk to UT Austin & Hyde Park
You will love the warmth and comfort of this eclectic mid-century home. Located in the heart of the Hancock neighborhood, this home is just 1 mile from UT-Austin, St. David's Medical & 10 minutes to Downtown, Rainey & 6th. Delight in the comforts of a home away from home as you cook in the well-equipped kitchen or throw some burgers on the grill in the charming backyard. You can rest easy in your two private bedrooms or stretch out in the spacious living room with extra large TV. Pet friendly!
We're conveniently located just across the Hancock Golf Course & Park where you can enjoy a nice walk on the trail. A ten minute walk will get you to one of the coolest neighborhoods in Austin- Hyde Park where you'll find many excellent restaurants, bars, and coffee shops! This home is HIGHLY desirable for UT Football games - you'll enjoy free parking here and a brief 20 minute walk will get you to UT and the stadium!
Large Two Bedroom One Bathroom plus air mattress. Bedroom One has a comfortable king bed, in-room TV, spacious closet and luggage rack. Bedroom Two features a mid-century framed queen bed. Queen air mattress available for up to two additional guests.
The living room has a very large 75 inch smart TV which you can connect your accounts like Netflix to. There is no cable but you will get a variety of local television channels.
The bathroom has a tub/shower combo with a new shower head for strong water pressure.
The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped. There are board games available for your use plus a washer and dryer in unit.
Fenced-in backyard and doggie door for friendly, well-behaved pets up to date on flea, tick & vaccinations. Please let us know if you will be bringing a pet, $30 pet fee per pet per night applies.
Here's what people have to say about our charming Hancock neighborhood, "Located just north of Downtown, Hancock is home to ambitious professionals, laid-back creative types, and University of Texas students. Getting around this residential neighborhood often involves walking, jogging, or biking to its local bars, cafes, and eateries renowned for their outdoor patios and intimate vibes. Hancock’s soothing atmosphere makes it seem far away from 6th Street’s noise, but jump on the interstate bordering this neighborhood and you’ll be Downtown before the band goes on break.
Upon booking you'll receive a digital house manual with a Google guide to some great local restaurants in the neighborhood.
