With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, this property sits on nearly an acre near downtown, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline. The granite exterior, crafted from the same material as the Texas Capitol, stands as a testament to the home’s enduring quality. Inside, the authentic bronze Victorian window latches, curly longleaf pine, & cypress woodwork have been carefully preserved, while custom cabinet knobs and antique light fixtures, such as the art deco chandelier in the main hall and the charming Lady Slipper fixture in the basement parlor, enhance the home’s one-of-a-kind ambiance.
Every inch of this home reflects a careful balance of modern updates & historical authenticity. Decades of restoration work have seamlessly integrated updated electrical, plumbing, & mechanical systems without compromising the original charm. Custom bronze weatherstripping ensures energy efficiency, keeping the home cool in summer while preserving the functionality of its historic windows & stained glass. The basement parlor, w/built-in cabinetry & elaborate design, stands out as a gathering space, proving that every corner of this home was crafted with intention. On top of it all, the belvedere promises panoramic views of downtown Austin & beyond. Also available is the adjoining duplex (316 Le Grande Ave) for a total of 1.26+/- acres.
