About this home

Tucked into a quiet, low-traffic pocket just off South Congress, 2612 Little John Ln offers the rare combination of walkability, charm, and true peace of mind. With direct access to Blunn Creek Nature Preserve just down the street and a massive new H-E-B less than a 15-minute walk away (plus local favorites like Walter's Tavern right across the street), this location delivers unbeatable convenience in the heart of Austin. You’re moments from SoCo, close to I-35, and just 15 minutes to the airport. Inside, the highly functional floor plan maximizes every square foot — no wasted space, abundant natural light, and impressive storage including a coat closet, additional pantry-adjacent storage, and a spacious laundry room with extended hanging space. Thoughtful details throughout — dimmers, quality window treatments, curated paint selections, and charming original touches like round vents — reflect a home that has been deeply cared for. Step outside and discover a backyard that truly expands your living space. The 660 sq ft deck (approximately half covered by a pergola) is designed for year-round enjoyment, complete with high-quality furniture, lighting, misters, and shade. A usable lawn and 160 sq ft garden with established asparagus and automatic drip irrigation add both beauty and function. This is the “everything has been taken care of” home. Major system upgrades include sewer line replacement (2022), new 200A electrical service (2022), insulation and air sealing (2023), deck/fence/landscaping (2023), backup generator installation (2023), new HVAC with transferable 10-year parts and labor warranty (2024), new ductwork (2025), and new water heater (2026). The big-ticket items are done — offering comfort, efficiency, and long-term peace of mind. A rare opportunity to own a lovingly maintained home in one of Austin’s most dynamic and walkable locations.
