Hyde Park Houses: 812 E. 44th Street

812 E 44th Street House

Just north of UT campus in the wonderful Hyde Park neighborhood, duplexes and houses geared towards students are a great alternative to some of the tiny North Campus apartments offered by campus firms.  Houses are a great way for a large group to share fixed costs, have fun living together, and utilize ample common space for a variety of purposes.  This house on E 44th Street, offered by West Campus Living, exemplifies what’s great about choosing a house as a UT student - location, features, and cost are all perfect for your group of students looking for a sweet pad for next year.  Lots of houses in the area aren’t well maintained, have extremely small third or fourth bedrooms, don’t allow pets, have tiny yards, or don’t feature ample parking for you and your friends.  But this house is really something special: keep reading to learn more about this fantastic property at 44th and Red River – 812 E. 44th Street.

Gorgeous Home in Hyde Park!

The E 44th Street house is the best of what Hyde Park has to offer.  Built at mid-century but recently remodeled in 2007-2008, the property is a large two story home with 4 bedrooms (including a HUGE master downstairs) as well as two bonus rooms: a small office / 5th bedroom and a landing area above the stairs perfect for an extra living room, office, or game room.  The property has tremendous curb appeal with some landscaping, a nice big lawn, and large mature trees on the lot for a tucked-away Hyde Park feel. The best part is that despite feeling like a central Hyde Park home, the house is located less than 500 feet from the UT shuttle stop on Red River, the bus line that runs every 10 minutes and drives you south straight to UT campus for free!  With this location bussing or biking to work is a breeze, which means saving money on parking, not dealing with the hassle of West Campus parking, and a quick morning commute.  And speaking of parking, the 3-car carport and ample street parking in front of the property means it’s easy to have friends over, and the alley access to parking means you’ve got a nice private entrance for you and your guests.

Enormous Living room with Hardwood Floors

Some of the amenities of the house include brand new high-end finishes in the Kitchen, such as large ceramic tile flooring and gorgeous new countertops, brand new appliances throughout (mostly Stainless Steel), a bar/counter overlooking the large living area, gas cooking, a brand new stackable E-efficient front-loading washer and dryer, and new fixtures throughout.  The downstairs has also been upgraded elsewhere, including refinished original hardwoods, fresh paint, a fireplace, a separate dining area off the kitchen, and a downstairs bath with a gorgeous new finish including a new tub and sink, new tile work, and new lighting fixtures.  The upstairs is where the other two bedrooms and bonus rooms are, and has fresh carpet, new light-colored paint, and a recently remodeled bathroom with shower as well.  The ample front and back yards are both fenced, and pets are allowed, so this is a great spot if you’ve got a cat or a large dog that’s a bit too big for a small apartment.  You’ve really got to see this house to believe it!

The E 44th Street house has now been leased through next summer (7/31/2010) but since it leased so early last year it’s sure to lease fast again for next year!  This is truly one of the coolest, most well-maintained properties in the area and is so close to everything that it’s always among the first to go each year.
