426 E Fest St

Swept away from the hub-bub of Downtown, E Fest offers a unique urban experience, with several features not typically found in urban properties. This diverse street in The Lone Star District, blends ultra chic Southwest low slung architecture with ultra contemporary skinny homes, juxtaposed with the original craftsman cottages. Blending the old with the new, this street offers a quiet neighborhood getaway in the shadow of Hemisphere. Walking distance to Kunstler Brewing, a neighborhood favorite meeting spot and a destination for "outsiders"w/ craft beer and great food. Also walking distance is The Fruteria Southtown, La Tuna, as well as new coffee and bar establishments biking and walking distance. While the train crosses the road on S Flores just a few blocks away, this is a designated quiet zone meaning so the train does NOT sound the horn when passing over the tracks. 426 E Fest has been the home for an urban renewal couple that prides themselves in raising their young child in this urban environment and who has taken great pride in maintaining the home in top notch condition. Clean, contemporary style, 20' high ceilings + high quality, light airy finishes are combined with the warmth of walnut wood cabinets. Large windows and the high transom windows bring in so much natural light that you do not need to turn on the overhead lights until sundown.
