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 interior floor plan is designed to bring everyone together. The combined living room, dining room, and kitchen allows for easy flow from one activity to the next.  The stylish kitchen is punctuated with sleek blue glass tile and cheerful red pendant lights. Gather around the eat-in island, sit down together at the dining table, have happy hour on the screened-in porch, or dine al fresco on the patio under the twinkle lights. It feels good to have choices. 

In addition to a kitchen pantry, the large walk-in closet under the stairs has ample room for storage.  This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home has all the bases covered.

The generously-sized primary bedroom has its own private access to the outdoor patio and is designed so that it can also be rented out if you choose.  The en suite primary bathroom is complete with a glassed-in shower and dual sinks all accented with mosaic tile. Don’t overlook the walk-in closet; there's plenty of room to share.  

Head upstairs and you’ll find a spacious loft that overlooks the downstairs living area.  This sizable space 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.   The washer and dryer are conveniently tucked inside the loft closet.

Also upstairs are two additional bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill style bathroom.  Each adjoining bedroom has its own sink and vanity; just close the door to the shower area and multiple people can get ready at one time.

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. Outfitted with its own kitchen and bathroom, you can 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 Air BNB, this turnkey unit has the potential to offset your mortgage.  Check out the existing reviews for The Tiny House on Air BNB.

But the possible earnings don’t end there.  Since the primary bedroom in the main house has its own entrance and can be closed off from the rest of the house, you can also explore renting that room on Air BNB for even more income.  You can see the Eastside Suite on Air BNB. 

Mature trees and a vine-covered pergola provide a shady front yard spot to sit on weekend mornings and visit with your neighbors as they walk by.  If you want more privacy you can relax on the screened-in porch or sit on the open-air patio and watch the pets play in the fenced-in backyard..

The home has extensive upgrades so you can enjoy modern convenience and have peace of mind.  You’ll appreciate the automated outdoor lighting, two electric vehicle charging ports, fiber internet, and rain barrels.  Plus a new HVAC was installed in 2022, and a 200 amp electric panel was added in 2023.  The home’s two-car garage also includes overhead storage racks, and you have two extra parking spaces in the driveway.

But perhaps the best part is the unbeatable location where you can embrace the dynamic energy of East Austin.  Step out the front door, and you can see the downtown skyline.  Foodies will love the delicious variety of restaurants within walking distance, including Michelin Star winner La Barbecue and James Beard Award Semi-Finalist Canje.  Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being 3 blocks from the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike trailhead. If you want to venture further afield you can catch the metro train at the Plaza Saltillo Metro Stop just a mile away.  And just imagine how easy your commute will be; this home puts you only minutes away from downtown, Dell Children's Hospital, UT Austin, and other major employers.

But that's just the beginning of the evening. Head over to Blue Owl Brewing for a beer and then take a quick Uber downtown to listen to some live music.  There's no bad choice when you live at 2512 East 2nd Street.
