Property Overview

This 2014-built residence on Willow Street sits at the heart of Austin's most sought-after East Austin location, where the Holly neighborhood's artistic spirit meets direct access to Lady Bird Lake's trail system. Positioned between Cesar Chavez and the water, 2601 Willow offers an rare combination for Austin TX: a 3,428-square-foot lot with mature gardens and an intimate 850-square-foot home that prioritizes quality over sprawl. The property's standout feature is its private outdoor sanctuary, a lush garden space perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings, complete with mature landscaping and thoughtful design that creates genuine separation from the surrounding urban energy.

Inside, high ceilings and abundant natural light define the two-bedroom, three-bath layout, creating an airy feel despite the compact footprint. The kitchen features banquet seating and convenient dog door access, while the open living area frames views directly onto the verdant grounds. This walkable Holly location puts residents steps from the neighborhood's celebrated restaurant and brewery scene, cultural venues, and the outdoor recreation that defines modern East Austin living.

Agent Description

Nestled between Cesar Chavez and Lady Bird Lake, the Holly neighborhood has been named one of “coolest neighborhoods in the world” by Time Out magazine. Known for its walkability, vibrant food scene and direct access to the trails along Lady Bird Lake, the area seamlessly blends urban energy with outdoor living. In the heart of it all, 2601 Willow Street is tucked away at the intersection of San Saba and Willow, this hidden gem places you right in the middle of the action, while at the same time offering a lush and private outdoor sanctuary to enjoy on nights at home. The spacious yard is unmatched and sets the tone for a lovely summer night with friends, under stars and string lights, with the faint smell of honeysuckle wafting through the gardens. While compact, high ceilings and loads of natural light welcome you into a bright and open living room with views of the oasis outdoors. The kitchen is cozy, with banquet seating, and a discretely placed dog door for four-legged friends to roam in and out to their heart’s content. Upstairs, both bedrooms feature their own ensuite bathrooms and plenty of closet space. With access off San Saba Street, this home offers a unique layout for a secondary unit, with its own driveway, one car garage, and curb appeal. The two member HOA is a self-managed and hassle free way to handle shared expenses though both homes certainly appear to stand alone AND DO NOT SHARE YARD SPACE. Must see!
