About This Home

Experience the perfect blend of 1940s soul and modern luxury in this renovated bungalow, reimagined by designer Sarah Barnes. Completed in 2024, this total gut renovation features brand-new HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems. Inside, original 1940s hardwoods anchor the living space, complemented by semi-custom window treatments and a chef’s kitchen boasting premium Café appliances, a 6-burner stove with commercial exhaust, and soft-close cabinetry. Designer touches abound, including bathroom vanities with internal outlets for a cord-free look. Built for the modern professional or gamer, the home is hardwired with fiber Ethernet in every room and features wall outlets positioned for seamless TV mounting. Practicality is a priority with a high-end steam washer/dryer and a tankless water heater located in the attic to prevent winter freeze concerns. The exterior serves as a private sanctuary, fully fenced with an automatic gate and covered parking for two vehicles. The expansive backyard, illuminated by included string lights, is shaded by massive pecan trees that keep the space cool all summer. Enjoy ultimate privacy with quiet neighbors and ample guest parking on a friendly street. Located just a 5-minute walk from the Lady Bird Hike and Bike Trail, you are steps from Austin’s best dining. Walk to LA BBQ, Kemuri Tatsu-Ya, Bufalina, and Rockman Bakery in under 10 minutes. This is a rare opportunity to lease a designer home that perfectly balances historic charm with high-end modern living.
