The Holly Street Project

2208 Holly Street, East Austin

$795,000

3 bd, 2 ba, 1,680 sq ft

A sound two-level house on a rare close-in lot, ready to modernize or start fresh.

The bones are good and the lot is better. A 1962 two-story that has been maintained but never updated, on a deep East Austin lot a short walk from the river. Bring it back room by room, or take the whole thing to the studs and build the house you actually want.

Inside there are three bedrooms, two baths and a floor plan that wants a wall or two removed. Original oak floors wait under the bedroom carpet, and the kitchen and baths are honest about their age. Nothing here is a surprise. Everything here is an opportunity.

East Austin trades on exactly this: a close-in lot with room to grow. Whether you renovate or rebuild, the location does the heavy lifting. Downtown is seven minutes, and the lake trail is a short walk from the door.

The neighborhood

East Austin

East of I-35 is a grid of taquerías, galleries, breweries and studios stitched together by bike lanes. Lofts and modern duplexes sit beside shotgun houses with a fresh coat of paint. It is the most alive part of town, and still the best value close in.

Median price $720K7 minutes to downtown
