Property Description

The Crown Jewel of Historic Austin Homes
Step into a living piece of Austin's history, an extraordinary estate built in 1889 and masterfully restored to reflect the soul of the city. Perched on a lush acre just minutes from downtown, this iconic residence offers an unmatched blend of architectural heritage, enduring craftsmanship, and modern comfort. From its hilltop vantage point, sweeping skyline views frame daily life in beauty and perspective, while the home's granite exterior crafted from the same stone as the Texas Capitol stands as a testament to its strength, significance, & lasting presence.
Inside, the home is a love letter to timeless design. Original elements like curly longleaf pine & cypress woodwork, bronze Victorian window latches, Majolica-tiled fireplaces, and antique light fixtures are preserved with care and reverence. Artful touches such as the custom Bocci chandelier, Lady Slipper fixture in the parlor, and intricate cabinetry make each room feel curated and soulful. With 5 bedrooms & 3.5 bathrooms, the layout balances grand entertainingw/quiet retreat.
Restoration work spans decades, & the result is not just preservation but transformation. Modern systems have been discreetly integrated to provide reliability without compromising authenticity. Custom bronze weatherstripping enhances energy efficiency while honoring the original design of the windows and stained glass. The home is not only livable, it is unforgettable.
The surrounding acre is lush & serene, & the adjacent duplex at 316 Le Grande Avenue is included in sales price. Located moments from the best of downtown dining, arts, and culture, the home offers rare privacy without isolation- an oasis nestled within reach of everything. This is more than a home. It's a chapter in Austin's story, ready for its next steward.
