Onyx outside. Oak within.



The Space:

The home sits on a quiet street in East Austin, wrapped in black board-and-batten siding with cedar accents at the entry. Step through the front door and the palette shifts - light oak cabinetry, warm neutral textiles, and a Scandinavian-modern calm that runs through every room.



The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area anchors the home. A marble-look waterfall island seats six under two bronze dome pendants, with a wine fridge, induction cooktop, and a fully stocked hidden appliance pantry behind bi-fold cabinet doors. The living room's oversized sectional faces a wall-mounted TV, with French doors opening straight onto the covered patio.



Twin Room



Two upholstered twin beds, a leaning ladder desk, and a full-length mirror. Windows look out over the side yard and covered porch.



King Suite



A four-poster king bed opens onto the backyard through French doors, with a sitting area and ensuite bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub and walk-in glass shower.



King Suite + Kitchenette



A second king suite with its own kitchenette - coffee maker, mini fridge, sink, and a small dining table - plus an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. Ideal for guests who want a bit of separation from the main house.



The Backyard



This is where Onyx & Oak sets itself apart. A dining table seats 8 steps from the grill and a hanging egg chairs. Beyond it, a private hot tub, a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs, and a hammock strung between two trees. A dedicated turf lawn holds bocce ball, cornhole, life-size checkers, and Connect 4 - enough to keep a group entertained well past dark, when the string lights take over.



Guest Access:

Guests have access to the entire home.



The Neighborhood:

Onyx & Oak sits in Govalle, one of East Austin's quieter, still-evolving pockets, tucked among mature oak trees. It's close enough to the action to feel connected, far enough removed to feel like a retreat.



Walk or bike to some of East Austin's best coffee shops, taco trailers, and neighborhood bars along Springdale and Airport. The Boggy Creek Greenbelt and Govalle Park are minutes away for a morning run or an afternoon outside. Downtown Austin, the East 6th Street bar scene, and Lady Bird Lake are all a quick rideshare away — close enough for a night out, far enough that you'll sleep well when you get back.



Govalle strikes a balance a lot of East Austin has lost: still a little rough around the edges, still full of character, and increasingly home to some of the neighborhood's best new food and drink.



Getting Around:

Easily get around on foot, by car, bike, taxi, etc.
