Location!!! This High Design, eclectic-chic stunner is a one-of-a-kind work of art. This price per square foot for a Bouldin neighborhood property in this condition makes this a steal of a deal. Great as investment, owner occupy or both with the versatile layout. Renovation and expansion of the original 1939 house were overseen by a worldly master builder and materials selected with quality and endurance in mind. Every detail in the build and design was thoughtfully chosen and placed using a mix of new, vintage and repurposed materials and each has a story, down to the porcelain house numbers from Paris France. Each floor has it's own complete living space. Can be used as live-in + rental income, 2 unit STR investment property, in-law situation, home w/ guest quarters or prime for owner wanting to separate living from studio or office. Upstairs living room has 15'7" high ceiling with exposed parallam beams as a structural design feature, oil & wax finished hardwood floor, Venetian plaster accent wall and a loft/light-shelf with built in workspace. From the loft you have an almost 360 view out the clerestory glass with seasonal views to the downtown skyline. The loft features metal railings salvaged in the 1950s from a pharmacy on former East Ave, now IH-35 through downtown. The upstairs Kitchen has soapstone counters and rattlesnake limestone, indigenous to central Texas. This home is perfect for those looking for something no one else has. This desirable location is 1 block away from the most hoppin' part of S. 1st and a stroll to S. Congress. It can't be beat for lovers of the city life who want to be in the action. Walk or bike to most anything. Eat drink, shop, daylife, nightlife,...on South 1ST or South Congress. Close to the new multi-level HEB grocery, downtown Austin, Zilker Park and Barton Springs. Truly an incredible property that you don't want to miss. Check out the virtual skytour to see how close this property is to everything inner city.
