About This Property
Built in 1919, this enchanting 2-bedroom, 2-bath Central Austin home offers 1,898 square feet of timeless character, lush outdoor spaces, and rare original details that will captivate your guests. From the moment you arrive, the limestone-accented front porch and the soothing sound of fountains create a welcoming, storybook entry. The front and side gardens lead to a serene koi pond with fountain, surrounded by lily pads and seasonal blooms, while a second goldfish pond with fountain anchors the private backyard oasis. A charming patio with a vintage barbecue pit sits perfectly between the two water features, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining to the soundtrack of flowing water. With alley access and an oversized lot, there are ample future opportunities for expansion. Inside, original shiplap walls in both the front living room and kitchen add warmth and historic appeal, complemented by soaring 10'6" ceilings, wood floors throughout, and classic five-panel wood doors. The front living room features built-in corner curio shelves that highlight the home's vintage charm, while the separate back living room offers a large bay window overlooking the expansive, tree-filled backyard, creating a peaceful and private retreat rarely found in the city. Storage is surprisingly generous for a home of this era, with two walk-in closets featuring high shelving, additional bedroom closets, and a charming kitchen built-in that serves as a functional pantry. A rear deck overlooks the back pond and garden, where roses, iris, and lush greenery bloom in the spring and summer. Ideally located in the heart of Central Austin near 45th & Red River and the Hyde Park area, this one-of-a-kind property blends historic charm, tranquil outdoor living, and exceptional character in a way that truly must be experienced.
