This single-story unit offers a clean, contemporary design characterized by a neutral color palette, light wood-style flooring, and recessed lighting throughout. The kitchen serves as a functional centerpiece, outfitted with white shaker-style cabinetry, granite-look countertops, and a classic subway tile backsplash. A full suite of stainless steel GE appliances includes a French door refrigerator, electric range, over-the-range microwave, and dishwasher. Under-cabinet lighting adds both ambiance and practicality, while track lighting illuminates the adjoining open area. The living and bedroom areas feature consistent light flooring and ceiling fans with integrated lighting, creating a comfortable and airy atmosphere. Multiple bedrooms are generously proportioned, each offering closet storage with wire shelving systems. The unit includes two bathrooms: one with a frameless glass walk-in shower featuring white tile surround and chrome fixtures, and a second full bathroom with a soaking tub/shower combo and a granite-topped vanity with white cabinetry. The cohesive design, modern finishes, and well-planned layout make this a highly functional and visually appealing space.

A small, east side neighborhood with a hipster vibe, Chestnut is an affordable Austin neighborhood that’s about a mile from the University of Texas at Austin campus. Chestnut residents can hop aboard the MetroRail at M L King Jr Station and quickly get to work or school. Chestnut is located between Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and East 12th Street, extending from Chicon Street east to Airport Boulevard.
One of the neighborhood’s quirkier features is the Museum of Natural & Artificial Ephemerata, an in-home, family-run museum of quirky collections. Tours are available with a suggested donation, where you’ll enjoy themed exhibitions as well as traveling exhibitions. Another unique landmark, the Coleto Moonlight Tower, is a historical light tower located on the corner of 13 Street and Coleto Street. Built in 1894, 31 ltowers lit up Austin and stood 164 feet tall. Today, only a few remain.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
