The Space: This 3-bedroom, one-of-a-kind home just south of downtown proper truly encapsulates the Austin vibe of “keeping it weird!”. You’ll love spending time exploring every room, never quite knowing what you might find next. Located just one block from trendy South Congress, fantastic shopping and fabulous restaurants are practically right in your backyard. You won’t believe just how many food and drink options are within walking distance from your front door, accommodating whatever mood you find yourself in from dining in to snagging some take-out. Downtown Austin is just a 5-minute drive or ride away, making day trips to and from the home a cinch. For a more peaceful way to spend the day, Lady Bird Lake is also a short distance away, offering parks, a boardwalk, hiking and biking trails, and even kayaking and paddleboard rentals for an immersive day on the water. This location simply cannot be beat for anyone who wants to fully experience everything Austin has to offer!
While you’ll undoubtedly be busy spending your days out and about exploring the area, Life Off SoCo is interesting enough to keep you happy and at home as well.

You can step out onto the shaded back deck where you’ll find a plethora of outdoor furniture suitable for dining as well as rest and relaxation. Back inside, the spacious kitchen can accommodate all your mealtime needs, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, toaster, drip coffee maker, and a large island where you can serve up a spread of afternoon appetizers. Coffee lovers are also sure to love the pour-over coffee setup available in the kitchen. Barstool seating at the island for 2 is an ideal spot for your morning coffee or a quick breakfast or take more formal meals at the nearby dining room table with seating for 6. A fully fenced back yard offers even more outdoor spaces to spread out and stretch your legs, keeping the unconventional theme alive and well in the décor and seating options.
