Property Description

Welcome to The Beehive! This rare Central East Austin property offers two distinctive homes: a vintage urban farmhouse cottage in the front and the iconic architectural jewel, The Beehive, tucked away at the back of the property. The main house radiates vintage charm with shiplap walls, wood floors, and thoughtful artistic touches throughout. A spacious kitchen with Saltillo tile, a restaurant-style sink, and original artist-designed tile work creates a bright, inspiring space. One bath features a six-foot soaking tub surrounded by custom tile artistry. Front and back porches lend an easy-going charm and are perfect for quiet morning coffees or small dinner gatherings. Behind the main house lies The Beehive, architect Nicole Blair’s inspired take on a Japanese teahouse, where vaulted ceilings, sweeping windows, and an open design create a calm and luminous living space, making the most of its compact footprint. This modern 1BR/1BA retreat includes a full kitchen, workspace, and both indoor and outdoor showers, blending comfort and design seamlessly. Celebrated in books and articles, it stands as a true one-of-a-kind architectural treasure. Located close to UT, downtown, and some of East Austin’s best restaurants and coffee shops, this property has long been a haven for artists, writers, and thinkers seeking creativity without the hassles of urban living. Main House 2/2 approximately 1314sf - Guest House 1/1 approximately 548sf.
