FURNISHED LEASE. Set on a spacious lot in the heart of Hancock, between Duval Street and Hancock Golf Course, this enchanting 1930s Mission Revival residence offers a rare blend of historic character, artistic charm, and everyday comfort. Framed by beautiful native gardens, the home feels both tucked away while still connected to one of Central Austin's most beloved neighborhoods. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a versatile loft that can serve as an additional bedroom, office, or flex space, the layout is both functional and full of personality. A private balcony off the loft creates the perfect setting for morning coffee or quiet outdoor living. Inside, rich architectural details shine through with hardwood floors, vintage tile, built-in cabinetry, and warm natural light throughout. The main living spaces feel inviting and distinctive, while the thoughtful floor plan offers a sense of separation and privacy. The kitchen features two sink work areas, ideal for both daily living and entertaining, and the front bedroom includes a custom-built-in storage wall. Just blocks from Epoch Coffee, Hyde Park Bar & Grill, neighborhood shops, and Hancock Golf Course, this is a rare opportunity to lease a home with soul, style, and an exceptional Central Austin location.
