About this rental
Here's the one you've been waiting for. Built in 1947 in the heart of North Loop, this bungalow has been standing since this city really was the funky, laid-back place everyone still talks about. This home didn't get torn down and turned into something generic, it got a full remodel while keeping the bones and charm that made it special. That teal front door says it all. Inside: an open kitchen with gray shaker cabinets, butcher block counters, stainless appliances, farmhouse sink, and black hex tile. Floating wood shelves and moody pendants give it a design feel. Both bedrooms are generously sized with fresh carpet, ceiling fans, and big windows. The bathroom brings spa energy with dual vanities, brushed gold mirrors, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass walk-in rain shower. Original hardwood floors refinished still carry the character straight through from 1947, so the remodel feels layered-in and charming while being fresh. Outside, the backyard just got a xeriscape refresh for easy upkeep. Move-in ready now for anyone looking to plant roots in one of Austin's most walkable pockets. This is the Austin people miss. North Loop has held onto its identity with indie coffee shops, vintage stores, neighbors who wave from the porch, while so much of the city traded that in for high-rises. You're minutes from Hyde Park, Mueller, and the Triangle, ~10 min from downtown, close to UT, and right off IH-35. This sought after neighborhood offers the real Austin people move here chasing just updated to work for how you live now. Homes like this don't sit long. Come see it before it's gone. Equal Housing Opportunity. Info deemed reliable but not guaranteed; verify square footage and lease terms independently.
