A quiet retreat in South Austin with one bedroom, one bath, and a screened porch that opens to the trees. The kitchen features a coffee bar with a Miele machine, and the living room is set up for streaming nights.

Located near Austin’s lively Zilker and South Congress areas, this bright modern retreat features an open-concept layout that connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces in one airy flow. Sunlight fills the home through high clerestory windows, highlighting warm wood tones and clean design. Thoughtful touches and free Wi-Fi make this the perfect spot to unwind and experience Austin like a local.
✦ Open Living Area: Step into a bright, open living space anchored by a tan leather sectional beneath skylit ceilings. Natural light filters through clerestory windows, creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The smart TV includes Netflix, ESPN, and Disney+, and free Wi-Fi keeps you connected while you unwind or work remotely. Large glass doors open to the screened porch, letting the indoors flow seamlessly outside - a signature Austin feel that invites you to slow down and stay awhile.
✦ Kitchen & Dining: The fully equipped kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, a warm tile backsplash, and a spacious island for meal prep or casual dining. A built-in coffee bar with a Miele espresso machine ensures a strong start to every morning. The handcrafted dining table seats four comfortably, making it easy to gather for breakfast before exploring Zilker Park or to wind down over dinner after an evening on South Congress.
