Austin, TX 78727
A Storied Home on Half an Acre | Thoughtfully Reimagined + Rich in Character. Set on a .51-acre corner lot beneath a canopy of trees, this fully reimagined residence blends heritage, craftsmanship, and modern livability. Originally one of the first homes built in the neighborhood, the property has been fully remodeled and carefully rebuilt, maintaining its character while adding refined materials. The result is a home that feels both grounded and elevated, with timeless architecture. The kitchen features marble and soapstone surfaces, a farmhouse sink, custom drawer storage, and a discreet butler’s pantry that keeps appliances tucked away. White oak floors anchor the main living spaces, while red oak flooring adds warmth and continuity in the secondary areas. A standout moment is the breezeway dining space, screened on both sides and designed to invite the landscape in. It’s a space that feels romantic and transportive, equally suited for quiet mornings or intimate dinners, with the flexibility to enclose if desired. The living room is outfitted with a retractable screen, laser projector & mounted speakers. Throughout the home, curated details, from vintage lighting to reclaimed architectural elements, add layers of depth and story. The private bedroom wing includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a dedicated office with its own entrance. The primary suite features a walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a walk-in shower with stylish penny-tile floors. Beyond the main residence, the property unfolds into a fully usable, thoughtfully maintained landscape. A separate workshop/garage with a hydraulic lift offers a special opportunity for car enthusiasts or hobbyists, while the grounds feature mature fruit and nut trees, irrigated garden beds from an on-site well, and ample space for expansion. Zoned SF-1, the property allows for future flexibility. Private, expansive, and deeply rooted in both history and design, this home offers a truly distinctive Austin experience.
