Overview
Property Description
Located in the heart of Austin’s beloved Holly neighborhood, Garden Street offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed property in one of the city’s most sought-after areas. Consisting of both Units A and B, the property functions as a versatile compound well-suited for homeowners, investors, creatives, or multi-generational living, while also offering the flexibility to purchase each home separately. Enjoy exceptional walkability to the Lady Bird Lake Hike-and-Bike Trail, Launderette, and the restaurants, shops, and entertainment that make East Cesar Chavez one of Austin’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Originally built in 1920 and thoughtfully renovated in recent years, Unit A is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with an additional office that blends historic Holly charm with modern comforts. Spanning 1,904 square feet, it offers an open yet inviting floor plan that flows seamlessly to a private backyard oasis, ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining, or relaxing outdoors.

Situated on a 6,839-square-foot lot with alley access, Unit A has exclusive use of the front driveway and can share the property's 3-car garage with Unit B. Unit B offers 1,060 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and exceptional flexibility as a standalone residence, guest house, or income-producing rental. With its own alley access, private outdoor space, expansive rooftop patio, and access to the 3-car garage, it lives comfortably and independently with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. Whether serving as a primary residence, accommodating guests, generating rental income, or providing a dedicated creative workspace, Unit B delivers the privacy, versatility, and authentic Holly lifestyle that are increasingly difficult to find in central Austin.
