The Continental Club is a short walk in the same direction\. Terry Black's Barbecue is five minutes by car\. Lady Bird Lake is five minutes\. Downtown Austin is eight minutes\. The 78704 zip code is the most walkable, most distinctly Austin address in the city, and this house sits squarely in the middle of it\. The house itself earns equal billing with the location\. This is a 2,700\-square\-foot custom build with the design energy of an Austin boutique hotel — 18\-foot vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, large\-scale local artwork, murals painted directly onto the walls, a professional\-grade kitchen with a pot filler and bold red lacquered backsplash, and a screened\-in porch that functions as a full second living room\. Groups who book this house tend to come back\. Guests consistently note the same two things in their reviews: the location is unmatched, and the house has a Keep Austin Weird personality that you simply cannot manufacture\. It sleeps fourteen across four bedrooms and a sleeper sofa\. Bedroom 1 is on the main level with a full en\-suite spa bathroom\. The upper bedrooms share bathrooms on the same level\. Nobody is separated by too many stairs, and the layout gives each couple or each family a natural sense of their own corner of the house\. THE HOUSE The great room is the first thing guests see and the last thing they forget\. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams\. Clerestory windows along the upper walls that pull in natural light from morning to evening\. Orange sectional sofas anchoring the seating area\. A turquoise coffee table in the center\. Large\-scale original artwork on every wall, including murals painted directly onto the plaster — the kind of art that makes a room feel like it belongs to a specific place and not just any rental on any street\. The kitchen runs the full length of the back wall and is built for a group\. Warm wood cabinetry with glass uppers on both sides of the range\. A professional\-grade stove with a pot filler above it\. Bold red lacquered backsplash that anchors the back of the kitchen visually\. Three bar stools at the island\. A dining table that seats six\. A secondary dining area in the adjacent blue room for additional guests\. This is a kitchen that can feed fourteen people without anyone standing in the doorway waiting for counter space\. The screened\-in porch off the main level adds a full second social space\. Cedar\-paneled walls, floor\-to\-ceiling screens, deep wicker sectional seating, a flat\-screen TV, a dedicated bar and beverage area, and a ceiling fan\. In the spring and summer months it becomes the room the group migrates to from mid\-afternoon onward — shaded, breezy, and connected to the backyard without being in direct sun\. The primary bathroom on the main level, en\-suite to Bedroom 1, is a full spa experience — floor\-to\-ceiling dark slate\-blue mosaic tile, a soaking tub set flush into the tiled floor, and a multi\-head rainfall shower panel finished in the same tile\. Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4 are on the upper level and share bathrooms\. A full laundry room with washer and dryer is on the main level\. THE OUTDOOR LIVING COMPLEX The backyard runs under a full live oak canopy and is private, fenced, and designed for a group\. A fire pit with Adirondack seating anchors the center of the yard\. A hammock hangs in the shade of the oaks\. Cornhole is set up on the side yard\. A gas grill is accessible from the screened porch\. An upper deck off the bedroom level gives guests a quieter outdoor perch above the yard\. In the spring and summer, this outdoor setup runs from the screened porch through the yard in one continuous zone — shade in the afternoon, fire pit in the evening\. WHO STAYS HERE Groups of couples who want to experience Austin like a local rather than a tourist book this house\. It comes up repeatedly in guest reviews: people come for South Congress, for the walkability, for Terry Black's, for the Continental Club, and for the sense that they are staying in a real Austin neighborhood on a real Austin street rather than in a hotel corridor\. Families with teenagers also book it regularly — the bedroom layout separates the adults naturally from the younger guests, and the screened porch and backyard keep everyone occupied without crowding the main living space\. THE LOCATION Bouldin Creek is the neighborhood that sits between South Congress Avenue and South First Street, directly south of downtown Austin, and this house is in the middle of it\. South Congress — SoCo — is a three\-block walk: the boutique shops, the vintage stores, the music at the Continental Club, Jo's Coffee, Hotel San José, and the full stretch of one of the most nationally recognized streets in Austin\.

Lady Bird Lake and the Hike and Bike Trail are five minutes by car\. Downtown Austin is 5 to 8 minutes by car\. Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park are 8 minutes\.
