Property Overview

This Beck-Reit & Sons contemporary sits in Holly, one of East Austin's most celebrated neighborhoods, commanding attention with its clean Bauhaus lines and museum-quality architectural presence. Featured on the 2011 Austin Modern Home Tour, 1616 Haskell delivers a rare combination of design integrity and walkability—steps from the thriving restaurant and brewery scene while remaining minutes from downtown, UT, and airport access. The home's defining feature is its soaring 12-foot ceilings and flood of natural light across the open main level, where gallery-white walls meet warm oak accents along a custom staircase that becomes the visual anchor of the space. The galley kitchen flows seamlessly into generous living and dining zones perfect for entertaining, then opens to a private patio below and a rooftop terrace above offering seasonal city views.

Two bedrooms and three bathrooms maximize efficiency across two levels, with the primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and privacy upstairs. The south-facing backyard balances mature trees with low-maintenance xeriscaping, creating a serene retreat without upkeep demands. A covered carport provides flexible storage and outdoor living potential. At $436 per square foot—18 percent below the East Austin median—this 1,549-square-foot residence on a 3,746-square-foot lot represents thoughtful modern design at an accessible price point in one of Austin's most culturally vibrant neighborhoods.
