Walk to ACL Fest and UT football - Central Austin/Clarksville gem - sleeps 8-10

Perfect location! This spacious oasis in Central Austin is walking distance to the ACL Festival in Zilker Park. Also a quick walk or 5 minute Uber ride to downtown and the State Capitol, the Governor's Mansion and the University of Texas (home to the Texas Longhorns, the Harry Ransom Center, the Blanton Art Museum and the UT Tower), as well as Lady Bird Lake, Barton Springs, Barton Creek Greenbelt, Pease Park, and the Johnson Creek Hike & Bike trail.

It's the ideal set up for ACL, SXSW, UT football games or any of the other 50+ festivals year round in Austin. This 4000 square foot home with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths (2 of them full en suite) is in the heart of Clarksville with 5 star dining, coffee shops, grocery, wine bars, and all steps away. Plentiful free parking with a circle drive in front and ample street parking for overflow. Great place for small groups, family, friends, and business colleagues to stay under one roof. Wonderful shared space with a two story living room and a gigantic fireplace as well as an outdoor deck and BBQ so you and your family and friends can come together to celebrate the season. At the same time, though, if you need to have some solitude for a bit, there is also plenty of privacy. Fabulous blackout shades, jacuzzi tub en suite, and fireplace in+master bedroom downstairs, and 3 private bedrooms upstairs.

The location can't be beat. This home is a gem in Central Austin and is walking distance to all downtown or Zilker Park festivals, 6th Street, the Capitol, Lady Bird Lake, the University of Texas, and hike and bike trails. With its high ceilings, top end appliances, gorgeous slate flooring and original hardwoods, 3 fireplaces, granite counter tops, circle drive (for ample parking), and a backyard oasis including outdoor kitchen, deck, and water feature.

This completely renovated two story home has a two story great room for the entire family or group to get together in, 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths. Two master bedroom suites (one with king bed and the second, with both a queen bed and a queen sleeper sofa), two additional bedrooms, one with two twin beds, and a third with bunk beds (with full size mattress on bottom and twin on top).

Two bedrooms have their own connected bathrooms. The downstairs master bath has both a shower and a jacuzzi tub. The upstairs master bath has a marble shower.

The downstairs master has a brand new plasma television and a fireplace.

The home includes a full kitchen (with stainless steel appliances), granite countertops, dishwasher, oven, stove, blender, coffee maker, toaster, sub zero refrigerator, and microwave.

The living room has two-story ceilings, brand new plasma television, bar area and grand fireplace. There is also full dining room and a utility room with a washer and dryer.

There is a fabulous zero-scaped backyard with deck, outdoor kitchen, and fountain.

For those interested in the great outdoors, there is fabulous swimming in the icy cold waters of Barton Springs (68 degrees year round) or local hang out, Deep Eddy pool. Austin offers beautiful hiking and mountain biking along the Barton Creek Greenbelt also walking distance from the house. In addition, if you are a jogger or want to go for a leisurely bike ride or walk, Lady Bird Lake has trails ranging from 3-12 miles long -- this too is walking distance from the property. If you are attending any one of the various festivals downtown or in Zilker Park, it is within walking distance or a short Uber ride home. For Formula One fans, all transportation leaves from downtown locations as well. Walk to one of the best bar scenes in Texas (6th Street) and to many of Austin's best restaurants, including Austin's Michelin starred Jeffrey's restaurant which is just a two blocks away. Lions Municipal Golf course is less than a mile away.

While you are in Austin, be sure to go see live music at the Austin City Limits Moody Theater downtown or the Continental Club on South Congress, catch a show at the nostalgic Paramount Theater downtown, take a boat ride on Lake Travis, have fantastic Tex Mex at Maudie's or BBQ at Franklin's, catch a UT football, basketball, or baseball game, go see the Gutenberg Bible at the Harry Ransom Center, and the powerful collections at the LBJ Library and Museum, go shopping at the fun boutiques along South Congress and pick up one of the best pizzas you'll ever eat at Home Slice Pizza, or stop in at one of the gourmet food trailers, take a tour of the State Capitol, the UT towner, and the Governor's Mansion, enjoy some of the best golfing in Central Texas at Barton Creek Country Club, go for a day of pampering at the Lake Austin Spa, or head down 1-35 for 30 miles and shop at one of the largest outlet malls in the nation.

Don't forget to see the bats that come out under the Congress Ave. bridge at sunset!
