About This Home

Available Jun 6

FURNISHED LEASE. Set on a spacious lot in the heart of Hancock, between Duval Street and Hancock Golf Course, this enchanting 1930s Mission Revival residence offers a rare blend of historic character, artistic charm, and everyday comfort. Framed by beautiful native gardens, the home feels both tucked away while still connected to one of Central Austinâ€™s most beloved neighborhoods. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a versatile loft that can serve as an additional bedroom, office, or flex space, the layout is both functional and full of personality. A private balcony off the loft creates the perfect setting for morning coffee or quiet outdoor living. Inside, rich architectural details shine through with hardwood floors, vintage tile, built-in cabinetry, and warm natural light throughout. The main living spaces feel inviting and distinctive, while the thoughtful floor plan offers a sense of separation and privacy. The kitchen features two sink work areas, ideal for both daily living and entertaining, and the front bedroom includes a custom-built-in storage wall. Just blocks from Epoch Coffee, Hyde Park Bar & Grill, neighborhood shops, and Hancock Golf Course, this is a rare opportunity to lease a home with soul, style, and an exceptional Central Austin location.

Neighborhood

First developed in 1891 as a streetcar suburb, Hyde Park has become one of the most densely-populated areas in the city. With many historic buildings in its two historic districts, the neighborhood enjoys a charming beauty, with sites like the Queen Anne style Col. Monroe M. Shipe House and the Elisabet Ney Museum.

Hyde Park sits directly north of the University of Texas at Austin, with I-35 running along the eastern border. On the west side, residents have easy access to a variety of shops, including Central Market, and the Heart Hospital of Austin. The university is home to four museums, including the Blanton Museum of Art. Sports fans can cheer on the Longhorns at nearby the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
