Description

It’s rare to step into a home and feel an immediate sense of calm — a quiet exhale that tells you you’ve arrived somewhere special. That feeling defines this beautifully designed Holly District residence. Built in 2013 with a thoughtful nod to East Austin bungalows, the home blends warmth, light, and intention with modern comfort. High ceilings create space to showcase art, while a reading nook and office area invite both productivity and pause. The light-filled open kitchen and dining space feels intimate for everyday living yet easily accommodates large holiday gatherings. A generous walk-in pantry and laundry room add everyday ease. The single-story main home offers 1,648 sqft with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a flexible office space. Large windows frame views of the meticulously landscaped outdoor oasis, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Covered and open-air patios create a peaceful backyard retreat that feels worlds away from the city. Beyond the garden sits an oversized two-car garage with epoxy floors and a mini-split system. Above it, a 572-square-foot studio apartment with private entrance has been an exceptionally successful Airbnb with over 400 5* reviews. Ideal as an income-producing rental, guest suite, creative studio, or home office; the unit is planned to convey fully furnished. A truly rare East Austin feature: four additional off-street parking spaces, in addition to the garage — perfect for entertaining and guests. All of this tranquility is paired with an unbeatable location just 0.8 miles to the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail and 1.6 miles to Congress Avenue, placing Austin’s best dining, culture, and outdoor lifestyle within easy reach. This is more than a home — it's a rare urban sanctuary in one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
