Nestled in the heart of the historic Hyde Park neighborhood of Austin, TX, this charming residence presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s heritage. Originally constructed in 1885 as one of the pioneering homes in the area, this property seamlessly blends the allure of its rich history with the sophistication of modern living, having undergone a comprehensive remodel in 2006.
Spanning just over 2,000 square feet, the home has three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering ample space for relaxation and comfort. The interior is marked by tall ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors, creating an atmosphere of elegance and warmth throughout. A distinctive feature of this renovation is the preservation of most of the original windows on the main floor, maintaining the home’s historic charm while inviting ample natural light into each well-lit room.
The living experience is further enriched by a large screened deck at the back, providing an idyllic setting for outdoor entertainment or quiet contemplation in your private backyard oasis. The outdoor spaces are truly a highlight, with large pecan trees offering ample shade in both the front and back yards. The professionally landscaped backyard hosts an enchanting array of small fruit trees, including peaches, pears, plums, loquats, mandarins, figs, and persimmons, creating a personal edible garden for the culinary enthusiast. Additionally, a large sliding gate at the back of the yard allows for easy access from the alley, presenting a unique opportunity for the future owner to construct a garage if desired.
The master bedroom suite, located on the second floor, epitomizes luxury with its open plan design, generous bathroom complete with a classic clawfoot tub, and a unique outdoor shower, blending indoor refinement with the natural beauty of the surroundings.
