About This Home
As of June 2023Thoughtful and understated, this classic Bouldin bungalow is nestled right in the heart of 78704. Originally built in 1935, the property was meticulously renovated from the ground up by renowned local architect Stuart Sampley. Modern and cool, while intentionally honoring the traditional architecture of the neighborhood, this house is a living representation of the unique spirit of Bouldin. The layout is intuitive and practical for working from home with the primary suite on the main floor with an adjacent office and laundry room. The kitchen, dining, and living rooms are sophisticated and appear to be minimalist, but are loaded with decadent surprises such as a moody powder bath hidden behind a flush panel door, a newly installed gas fireplace, and high end sound and lighting system. All additional bedrooms are upstairs along a windowed corridor, concealed from street view behind Brazilian hardwood privacy screen. Detached air conditioned office + workshop back to the alley. Designed for entertainment, a wall of sliding glass off of the living room invites you outside to take a dip in the pool or enjoy a meal under the misters. Not a detail was overlooked, from the designer finishes, to the field-finished European white oak floors, HAIKU® Fans, Marvin doors + windows, durable Dekton kitchen counters, Thermador refrigerator, Kitchen-Aid and Bosch stainless steel appliances, Axor/Hansgrohe, Kohler + Duravit fixtures, Brizo bathroom fixtures, Zellige and Fireclay tile, Cedar & Moss light fixtures, UltraAire whole house dehumidifier, Rinnai tankless water heater, heated pool, EV charging station connection, newly renovated primary bath with dual vanities, two custom walk-in closets, and more! Minutes to Downtown, South Congress, Butler Hike and Bike Trail, Lady Bird Lake, Fresa's, Picnik, Elizabeth Street Cafe, Mattie's, El Alma, Maaribu, Polvo's, Odd Duck, Ramen Tatsu-ya, Uchi, and fewer than 15 minutes to the airport.
