This special property includes a contemporary 3-bedroom home PLUS a stand-alone Kanga tiny house with a positive rental history on Air BNB. It’s the perfect home base to get out and enjoy the vibrant East Austin lifestyle while potentially offsetting your mortgage with rental income.
The main house has an open floor plan designed to bring everyone together. Gather around the eat-in island, relax on the screened-in porch, or dine al fresco on the patio under the twinkle lights. The generously-sized primary bedroom with en suite bathroom has its own private access to the patio and is designed so that it can also be rented out. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill style bathroom with separate vanities so that multiple people can get ready at one time. The upstairs also includes a spacious loft that can easily serve as a home office, guest room, or second living area. There’s even an outdoor deck when you want some extra sunshine. With upgrades like automated outdoor lighting, two electric vehicle charging ports, fiber internet, a new HVAC, and a 200 amp electric panel, this home blends modern convenience with peace of mind.
And that's just the primary house! The detached Kanga Tiny House in the backyard can live as part of the main home or as a separate apartment. Use the space for your home office or studio, host guests or extended family, or you can even rent it out. With a positive rental history through Airbnb, this turnkey unit has the potential to offset your mortgage.
But perhaps the best part is the unbeatable East Austin location. Foodies will love the delicious variety of restaurants within walking distance, including Michelin star winner La Barbecue. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being 3 blocks from the Lady Bird Lake, and if you want to work centrally, this home puts you only minutes away from downtown.
This flexible property with two homes offers endless possibilities to experience the best of Austin.
