The layout has a lot of possibilities, in a good way. One of the bedrooms is a large, master suite (~13×25’) with dedicated bathroom and large closet - ideal for a couple or someone who needs extra space, or a home office. The second bedroom is large, (~12×14’) and gets great sunlight (but window sun-tint helps cut down the heat), with a moderate closet. The third bedroom is currently an extension of the main living space, but can be converted back to a normal bedroom (~11×14’) and already has a private entrance and a nice bay window.

The house is a gardener’s paradise. 1,500 gallons of rainwater collection plus several planting beds already in use means you can get right to growing any time of year. There are also young vines, rose bushes, and herbs on the property to further satisfy your green thumb. Finally, a maturing compost pile near back fence can be used for fertilizer and will happily accept your kitchen scraps.

It’s in a great location! One block from Epoch coffee house, one corner down from North Loop & Avenue F shops and local businesses, including the Parlor. Lamar Blvd and Airport Blvd are both walkable, as are several bus lines.

Landlord is a nice guy! I’m an Austin resident who will be traveling off and on for 2009. I’m interested in finding nice, trustworthy people who won’t ruin the place.  In return, I will be a solid landlord.
