102 E Crestland Austin sits on one of the best corner lots in Central Austin’s Holiday Hills neighborhood — nearly 10,000 square feet, a private fenced backyard, and a home that’s been thoughtfully updated without losing its mid-century character. If you’ve been hunting for a single-story house with real outdoor space, a flex room, and no HOA at this price point, this one is worth your time.
What Makes 102 E Crestland Austin Stand Out
Holiday Hills is a 1950s neighborhood in the 78752 zip code, and it’s been quietly appreciated by Austin buyers who want Central location without paying South Congress or Bouldin prices. The streets are tree-lined, the lots are generous, and the bones of the homes are solid. This one, built in 1959, has been updated in all the right places while keeping the open, airy feel that makes mid-century homes so livable.
The corner lot position is a real differentiator here. You get a larger yard, more natural light coming in from multiple sides, and a sense of space that most single-family homes in this price range don’t offer. At 9,953 SF, it’s one of the larger lots you’ll find in this part of Central Austin.
Layout and Living
The floor plan is entirely single-story — all bedrooms, the flex room, the laundry room, and both bathrooms are on the main level. There are no interior steps. That matters both for accessibility and for everyday livability. The layout flows from the front living room into the kitchen and dining area, with the flex room sitting just off the back near the dining room and patio access.
In addition to the three bedrooms, the dedicated flex room is one of this home’s most practical features. It overlooks the backyard and works as a home office, art studio, music room, playroom, or quiet retreat depending on your needs. Because it’s positioned separately from the primary bedroom wing, it actually functions as a private workspace without sacrificing a bedroom.
Kitchen and Main Living Spaces
The kitchen has been fully updated with quartz countertops, a center island, a pantry, and solar tubes that pull in natural light without needing additional windows. Appliances include a stainless steel electric range, dishwasher, microwave, oven, and refrigerator — the refrigerator stays. The kitchen opens toward the dining area, which has double French doors leading directly to the covered back patio.
The main living room at the front of the house is flooded with natural light from an oversized picture window. Wood floors run through the main living areas and give the space warmth and continuity. Recessed lighting and ceiling fans are throughout. Furthermore, the open floor plan keeps the kitchen, dining, and living areas connected without feeling like one undifferentiated great room.
Outdoor Living
The backyard is the star of this property. The covered rear patio off the dining room gives you a true outdoor living space that functions year-round in Central Texas. Beyond the patio, the corner lot opens up into a spacious private yard with a greenhouse structure, a playscape, a picnic table, and mature trees providing shade. The fully fenced yard with a wood privacy fence means you’re not looking at your neighbors while you’re out there.
Rain gutters are in place, the lot is level, and the yard includes native plantings. Moreover, the listing confirms this property is not in a FEMA flood plain — a detail worth noting in Central Austin, where flooding can be an issue on certain streets and lots.
Thoughtful Updates and Features
The primary bathroom has been fully updated with a walk-in shower and en-suite access from the primary bedroom. The hall bathroom serving the secondary bedrooms has also been updated. Both bathrooms have a clean, modern finish that fits the overall aesthetic of the home. Additionally, double-pane windows are installed throughout the house, which helps with both energy efficiency and noise reduction given the urban location.
The laundry room is a standout feature for a home of this size — it includes a sink, full storage, and a skylight. Washer and dryer hookups (electric dryer) are in place. The 1-car attached garage has front-facing entry and there’s additional off-street parking available. A gas water heater serves the home, natural gas is connected, and fiber optic internet is available at the property.
Location and Lifestyle
The address puts you within walking distance of the Capital Metro Red Line station, Crescent Asian Shopping Center, 99 Ranch Market, and Barrett’s Coffee. HEB is close by as well. Because of that connectivity, this home works well for commuters who want to skip the highway — downtown Austin and Q2 Stadium are both accessible via MetroRail. The Domain is about 10 minutes by car.
Holiday Hills is zoned to Austin ISD. There is no HOA on this property, which is increasingly rare for Central Austin homes. The home is in Travis County, and the 2025 assessed value was $510,283 with annual taxes of approximately $8,103.
