1306 Norwood Rd B

Stylish 1 bed/1 bath back house, just 10 mins from downtown, with greenbelt access out the back gate. Water & Wastewater are included in the Rent. The backyard is a shared space with front house tenant. The screened porch is exclusive to the back house. No pets. This is a unique opportunity to live at a property designed and built by one of Austin's renowned Landscape Architects. The artistic quality & unique design is evident throughout the property, from the custom steel & masonry work, to the large format limestone blocks, & the Ipe wood deck out back. Inside, you will find gorgeous white plaster walls (tenant cannot paint the walls), black walnut floors & countertops, a clawfoot tub & a cathedral wood ceiling in the bedroom milled from the ridge beam of the original Chrysler factory in Detroit. A custom coy pond/fountain provides a calming vitality to the outdoor space, as the flowing water descends from the steel cannon spout into the concrete basin below. A secret little outdoor shower offers an opportunity for a quick rinse after some exercise under the warm summer sun. Walk out the back gate and enter the Northwest Greenway, which is part of the Mueller neighborhood's roughly 5 mile greenway system of trails. The trails are well maintained & feature misc. parks & picnic areas along the path, with additional access to Morris Williams golf course, & Patterson & Bartholomew Parks as well. Head to the Mueller Farmer's Market on Sunday mornings to pick up some fresh veggies, organic eggs & more. Volleyball courts & a splash pad are features at Mary Branch Park in Mueller. The landlord's professional crew maintains the yard, plants and pond once per month to maintain the professional quality of the landscaping. Tenant does not need to maintain the yard or plants. The irrigation system is programmed and cannot be adjusted by tenant. Street Parking only. Carport is exclusive to front house tenant.
