About This Home
As of September 2022Located in the heart of the highly desirable Holly neighborhood, this move-in ready East Austin home has classic charm, modern updates, and a prime location not to be missed. Originally built in the 1920s, and recently updated by the current owners, the exterior of this California style bungalow is warm and inviting with excellent curb appeal. A steel gate opens to a quaint entry courtyard and east-facing sitting porch, perfect for relaxing and evening happy hours. A cheerful craftsman-style front door welcomes you daily. Exterior updates include a redesigned front porch with tapered craftsman columns, a complete exterior repaint, custom steel fence with entry gate & sliding auto gate, recent windows and roof (approx. 2015, previous owners), a new backyard Trex deck, custom walkway and porch steps, and newly installed planters & landscape. The interior of this bungalow is open, has great flow, and laid out efficiently and functionally. A full kitchen remodel was completed in June ’22 including new cabinets, solid surface countertops, a Clay Imports concrete tile backsplash, undercabinet lighting, and a complete appliance suite (refrigerator, range, range hood, and dishwasher.) Three bedrooms and two baths are located on opposite sides of the home providing good privacy. The kitchen, eat-in dining, and living areas are in the center of the home. The primary suite has two walk-in closets and a recently updated en-suite bath. Two guest bedrooms, with full bath, completes the opposite side of the house. Fantastic location offers easy walking access to Ladybird Lake & the hike & bike trail, some of Austin’s best restaurants and bars, around the corner from the Rainey District, and minutes to everything downtown has to offer.
