Pops of color, modern furniture, and a minimalist aesthetic give it a warm and inviting feel. The 55" 4K Smart TV is mounted on a swivel arm, so you can relax on the couch or watch from bed—perfect for winding down after a day exploring Austin.

Comfortable Sleeping Area

A plush queen-sized foam mattress and high-quality linens make the sleeping space incredibly comfortable. While it’s a studio layout, the design still offers separation between the sleeping and living zones, making the space feel cozy and functional. The couch can also be converted into a sofabed to sleep a 3rd guest.

Functional Bathroom + Closet Storage

The bathroom is surprisingly spacious for a studio, with a tile shower and tub combo and beautiful natural light. A walk-in closet provides excellent storage space—complete with hangers, a luggage rack, and an iron/ironing board. For such a small home, storage is thoughtfully integrated without cluttering the design.

Private Outdoor Oasis

One of the highlights of this ADU is the private patio. Outfitted with a cozy outdoor couch, string lights, and surrounded by mature trees, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an alfresco dinner. The backyard space is surprisingly large for a tiny house—and a rare find in the heart of the city.
