About this home
Plant your roots on Putnam. Out back, a fenced yard with a patio and raised garden beds is ready for your first planting, whether that means kale and herbs this winter or tomatoes in the spring. Inside, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home built in 2001 centers on an updated kitchen with new granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and island seating for morning coffee or a casual dinner. A newer roof, HVAC system, and water heater mean move-in day can be all about settling in.
Daily life is easy here. A dedicated workspace, fiber internet, and a washer and dryer keep routines simple. A welcoming front porch faces the street, and the driveway holds two cars with free street parking out front.
This home also arrives with a proven record. As an Airbnb, it earned Guest Favorite status, placing it in the top 5% of eligible listings, with a 4.92 rating from 91 reviews and scores of 4.9 or higher for cleanliness, location, and value. Furnishings may be available by separate agreement. Buyer to verify short-term rental licensing with the City of Austin.
The location carries a story of its own. The home sits in Wooten, a mid-century North Central Austin neighborhood named for Dr. Goodall Wooten, the longtime Austin physician and civic leader. Burnet Road, once the route from Austin to Burnet, is just around the corner and now lined with local restaurants, coffee shops, and Highland Lanes. Nearby, the 1954 Air Conditioned Village made Austin the testing ground for central air in American homes.
Head out for a game at Q2 Stadium, shopping at The Domain or the Arboretum, a day at UT, or a night downtown, all an easy drive away, with quick access to MoPac and Research Blvd. Come see the beds, the porch, and the neighborhood for yourself, and picture what you will grow here....
