Experience Austin Charm at the Iconic Carrington Bluff House

Nestled majestically atop the bluff at MLK & Lamar, overlooking the serene Pease Park and offering sweeping views of Downtown Austin, the Historic Carrington Bluff House presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a blend of history, elegance, and modern convenience.

Once a beloved Bed & Breakfast, this stately 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home is now available for lease, offering the charm of yesteryear with thoughtful contemporary upgrades. Each of the four spacious bedrooms comes complete with its own ensuite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for all residents. The home’s recent window renovation, completed just over a year ago, brings an abundance of natural light, perfectly framing the surrounding views and highlighting the home’s warm, inviting atmosphere.

The large front porch, an ideal space for morning coffees or evening relaxation, overlooks a lush, well-maintained yard, providing an oasis of calm amidst the city’s vibrancy. Whether you’re lounging outdoors or inside the thoughtfully preserved interiors, the Carrington Bluff House exudes timeless appeal.

Just steps from the greenery of Pease Park and minutes from the bustling energy of downtown, this property perfectly marries tranquil living with proximity to Austin’s best amenities. From its storied past as a bed and breakfast to its ready-to-move-in allure, The Carrington Bluff House offers a lifestyle as remarkable as its surroundings.
