Across the street from Austin's first urban farm, this East Austin home sits in a quiet pocket of the city that feels a world away from downtown, even though downtown is only about 10 minutes by car. Mornings can start with a walk to the farm stand for fresh produce and eggs, or a short stroll to one of the coffee spots nearby. By the afternoon, you're back in the shaded backyard with your feet in the water. Eastside Main House is set up for an easy stay. The living room centers on a deep sectional, exposed wood beams, and a long linear fireplace set into a dark media wall with the TV above it. A sleeper sofa here gives you extra space for overnight guests. The kitchen opens right off the living space, with soft sage cabinetry, a gas range, stainless appliances, and an island with seating for three, so whoever's cooking stays part of the conversation. Both bedrooms have king beds and their own TVs, and the first adds a fireplace for extra atmosphere in the evening. One bathroom has a marble walk-in shower with a rain head, and the other has a shower and tub combo. Then there's the gym. Out back, a dedicated workout space comes with a treadmill, a cable machine, free weights, a bench, and a red light sauna for recovery afterward. It makes it easy to keep your routine going while you're away, then cool off outside when you're done. The backyard is where the home really opens up. The lot is large and shaded by mature trees, with a stock tank plunge pool under string lights, lounge chairs, a grill, and a picnic table for dinners outside. It's a fully fenced space that's just as good for a lazy afternoon as it is for a night in after a day out in the city. This part of the East Side has a neighborhood feel, with local coffee, food trucks, and green space all close to home. You’re in Govalle, one block from Canopy, a community of artists, galleries, and other creatives. Springdale Road is your go-to for a slice at Bambino’s Pizza, coffee or cocktails at Stargaze, a night at Springdale Station, or a climb and a yoga class at Austin Bouldering Project. The Webberville Road food truck park is about a 15-minute walk, with coffee, barbecue, and hot chicken in one shaded lot. Govalle Park and the Southern Walnut Creek Trail are close by for a run or a bike ride. When you want more of Austin, East 6th Street is a quick scooter or pedicab ride away, and Rainey Street, Lady Bird Lake, and Texas Memorial Stadium are each about three miles out. The airport is roughly 15 minutes away. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay.
