.
Two other bedrooms are upstairs, and they share a Jack and Jill bath

The 2 car garage was once a carriage house for the original 1907 owners

Hyde Park is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Austin with many restaurants, a grocery store, a bakery, and a nearby shopping center. It's a bike-riders dream with bike lanes leading to UT and more.

Very convenient access to the University of Texas, the UT Medical School, St. David's Hospital, as well as a City and UT bus stop half a block from this home.

At the end of the street is a 9 hole public golf course and park, and a few blocks away is a neighborhood pool, tennis courts, and Elizabeth Ney Museum.
