This single-family home was extensively rebuilt in 2020, thoughtfully preserving the home’s exterior character while creating a fully updated contemporary interior. Framed by blooming roses and mature landscaping in East Austin’s sought-after Holly neighborhood, the home makes an immediate impression. Classic Craftsman character gives way to bright, refined living spaces, where warm hardwood floors, abundant natural light, crisp white finishes, and an easy open flow create a remarkable sense of space and calm. At the heart of the approximately 1,988-square-foot floor plan, the kitchen is both a showpiece and a true gathering place. Quartz countertops, extensive white cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a gas range, and an oversized island with generous seating and workspace make it equally suited to quiet mornings, everyday living, and entertaining. The primary suite is on the main level, with two bedrooms upstairs, two-and-a-half baths, and several adaptable bonus spaces. Whether used as nurseries, home offices, playrooms, guest spaces, or fitness areas, these rooms allow the home to evolve easily with changing needs. High-speed fiber internet, a tankless water heater, and smart-home features add modern convenience. Outside, the fully fenced yards unfold as a private urban garden. Distinct spaces include a covered front porch, private dining area, grilling station, raised planting beds, and low-maintenance turf. Mature native landscaping and privacy fencing create an unexpectedly peaceful setting for relaxing, gardening, and entertaining, while a dedicated gravel parking pad provides valuable off-street parking. Overlooking Metz Park and just moments from the hike-and-bike trail and Lady Bird Lake, the home also offers easy access to transit, the airport, dining, and entertainment. Few properties combine this degree of historic character, modern livability, privacy, flexibility, and connection to the best of East Austin.
