Fully renovatedA Renovated Mid-Century Modern With Real Character
This is not a flipped house with builder-grade finishes. The owners put genuine care into this renovation and it shows in every room. The kitchen was completely redone with new cabinets, open shelving, a beautiful backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The wood flooring running throughout the home is exactly the right color and sets the whole tone of the space.
The open layout connects the kitchen, living area, and dining room naturally, with large windows bringing in great natural light. Two spacious secondary bedrooms share a beautiful full bath. The primary suite is large, with a stunning primary bath featuring a big walk-in shower, double vanity, and gorgeous chevron print flooring.
The home is currently operating as a short-term rental with six-person occupancy. Some furniture is negotiable, making the transition to an Airbnb-ready investment even more straightforward for the right buyer.
Jessica also notes a creative opportunity in the primary bedroom's oversized closet: convert that space into built-in bunks and the occupancy jumps from six to eight or even nine guests, meaningfully increasing nightly revenue potential and positioning the home as family-friendly.

Why This Property Performs as a Short-Term Rental
Currently Operating
Already set up and running as a short-term rental with a six-person occupancy. No startup friction for a buyer who wants income from day one.
Upside with Bunks
Converting the oversized primary closet to built-in bunks increases occupancy to eight or nine guests, boosting nightly rates and expanding the family travel market.
Keyless Self Check-In
Already set up for guest self check-in, which is standard and preferred for STR management efficiency.
Private Driveway Parking
A meaningful amenity for guests driving in for events. Off-street parking matters more than most hosts realize.
No HOA
No HOA restrictions to navigate around short-term rental use. One fewer complication for an investment buyer.
Outdoor Patio
Outdoor entertaining space is a consistent booking differentiator in the Georgetown market, especially for group travel.
I get excited about properties that give buyers real options, and 1802 Hutto Road is one of those. You could move right in and enjoy one of Georgetown's most charming renovated homes. You could run it as a full-time short-term rental and generate meaningful income. Or you could live in it part-time and rent it during the events you don't need it. All of those paths work here.
The Georgetown Square location is the thing I keep coming back to. Guests will walk everywhere. That is not something you can manufacture by buying a house across town and hoping for the best. This property is positioned for it.
