Situated on just under a 3/4 acre double lot, this property boasts a picturesque setting with numerous majestic heritage oak trees, overlooking the serene Shoal Creek and the prestigious University of Texas campus. Purchased by the current owners in 2014, this 1930s home underwent an extensive three-year renovation.

From meticulous attention to detail to replacing the stucco and restoring the tile roof, no expense was spared to restore this historic gem. This remarkable home presents a seamless blend of timeless charm and modern amenities, making it ideal for comfortable one-story living with five bedrooms all with ensuite baths. The renovation involved stripping the house down to the studs, resulting in the addition of over 1400 square feet of living space. The vaulted living room with original stain glass windows was rebuilt with its original plaster and the surprise find of temperance cabinets were fully restored to appreciate the home’s original design. The classic eat-in kitchen showcases high-end appliances, custom stone surrounds, and Wood-Mode cabinetry, creating an inviting space for culinary enthusiasts. A fabulous mud room/laundry/pantry area adds convenience, while Flambeau gas lighting and Cantera doors further enhance the exterior and provide access to the original patio overlooking the sprawling estate.
