Summary
Stay in a charming 1925 home with a colorful family history in Austin's iconic Hyde Park neighborhood. An excellent selection of local eateries and bars are a quick 15 minute walk through the shaded tree-lined streets. A spacious front porch with an outdoor dining table for 6 people and open kitchen with plenty of counter space for cooking, is ideal for family gatherings. Easy access to UT, downtown, and all that Austin's east side has to offer.
Space
You'll have the entire home to yourself. There are two bedrooms and one shared bathroom adjacent to the main living and dining rooms. The third bedroom with connected bathroom is a recent add on to the main house. It is separated from the main house through a small breezeway connected to the kitchen. This bedroom also features a kitchenette. The property is just 3 miles from downtown and 2 miles to the UT campus. The neighborhood is walkable with quick access to lots of pizzerias, bars, burger joints, bakeries, taco joints, and delicatessens. There are several parks, a public pool, golf course, and grocery stores in close proximity – the closest is H.E.B in Hancock Center. Notables: Hyde Park village is a 1/2 mile walk and has nearly everything you will need: a great bakery (Quacks), small local grocery store (Fresh Plus), Italian food (Asti), Mexican food (Curras, Julios), a burger joint (Hyde Park Bar and Grill), an Italian gelato shop (Uncle Nicky's) and a deli (Antonelli's Cheese Shop). The North Loop area is a 3/4 mile walk and has 5 vintage resale stores (Room Service, Ermine Vintage, Big Bertha, Bloody Rose, Blue Velvet), 3 great bars (Drink Well, The Tigress, Workhorse), a great restaurant (Foreign and Domestic), a great coffee place (Epoch) to study or hang out, and one of Austin's best record stores (Breakaway Records). The home was once owned by the famous gunsmith and outfitters family, the Petmecky's, who supplied spurs and rifles to Sam Houston and the Texas Rangers. Selling guns and equipment to outdoorsmen, they owned Austin's longest operating small business on South Congress for over 100 years. Their home marked the northeast corner of Austin’s City Limits until 1935. Built in 1925 by Jacob and Annie Petmecky, this house is a piece of Texas history. Jacob Petmecky also founded the Austin Gun Club and the Austin Shooting Range. Also, please review the LONG-TERM STAY - ADDITIONAL FEES section below.
