Property Detail

Description

Nestled on a corner lot in the center of one of Austin's most coveted neighborhoods, this Old Enfield 1929 classic sits among historic oaks & magnolias. This 4-bed, 5-bath Colonial Revival estate has traditional charm laced with historic accents throughout - reclaimed hardwoods from one of the oldest buildings on The University of Texas's campus, one of the 36 gas-lit lanterns from the stage of the original Casa Mañana in Fort Worth, where the entertainment events of the 1936 Texas Centennial Exhibition were held, & a carriage block that was for stepping into carriages in a period prior to automobiles. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a foyer that opens to a formal living room with access to the pool and courtyard outdoor space. Additionally, on the first level, you will find a study/library, formal dining space with easy access to the oversized kitchen, a second living space, and a full bathroom. With two fireplaces, hardwood floors, and large windows, the home's character is showcased in the finest details. The second level of the home is where you will find the primary suite and two secondary bedrooms. A terrace, accessible through the front guest bedroom, gives you a quaint setting among the oak and magnolia branches. The third floor is a versatile space full of potential. An oversized living/game room doubles as a fourth bedroom/apartment suite with a full bath and kitchenette. It is also home to the best view on the property from a third-story balcony that overlooks downtown/central Austin with sights of The Capital and the University of Texas Tower. A detached garage is home to an apartment with one bedroom, full bathroom, and a kitchen with an open living area. The property is fully gated, providing privacy and seclusion while still being minutes away from downtown Austin. The south side of the property features a pool and courtyard while the north side offers a large lawn shaded by mature trees. Very rarely do properties like this come to market.
