Located in the coveted Holly District in east Austin, this Architectural Digest published home is an incredible opportunity for design-minded buyers looking for a turn-key home. Originally built in the 1930s, this bungalow recently underwent two significant remodels culminating with an interior focused project designed by Emily K Interiors in 2021-2022. The result is a sophisticated, timeless home with modern vibes and subtle references to the owner's east coast origins. A clean, contemporary exterior of traditional stucco, raw steel, and architectural shingles creates excellent curb appeal. Generously proportioned doors and windows provide crisp contrast with the stucco while also infusing efficient, modern-day performance. Set on a low-traffic cul-de-sac, the 4' privacy fence gives additional security from the street.
The ultra-efficient interior planning allows this two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow to flow easily between spaces. Excellent natural light bathes each room throughout the day, complementing a cheery & uplifting color palette. The spacious kitchen has custom cabinetry with antique brass hardware, solid wood shelving, cup & pot hangers, as well as a center island that offers a functional workspace for any home chef. Butcherblock countertops, paired with penny & concrete tiles, add a designer's touch. The custom banquet dining area, complete with dry bar, finishes a space that's ready to entertain. Prime east Austin location puts this home just a stones-throw away from many of Austin's best restaurants, bars, and the Ladybird Lake hike & bike trail. Ideally suited as a primary home, a lock & leave weekend home, or a plug/play STR for the savvy investor, 2nd ½ St is the perfect spot to be in the middle of it all! * Tesla charger installed at driveway * *2021 inspection report available upon request. * Architectural Digest article available upon request. *
