Property Description
Purchased in 1998 and after several remodeling projects, it became clear that the home needed major renovations to bring it into the 21st Century. They enlisted Stuart Sampley, a renowned Austin architect with a strong track record of restoring and updating classic pre-World War II Austin bungalows.
In 2013, JGB Custom Homes completed what essentially became a total rebuild of the home. Although the floor joists and long leaf pine floor remain (now serving as a sub-floor for the new solid hickory flooring) you will find touches throughout that honor the period's history alongside clean, simple modern design. The windows are insulated, sealed, and double-paned while maintaining the traditional double-hung style of the original house. The structure is well-insulated from the floors to the standing seam metal roof. Even the interior walls are insulated. The result is a unique, solid, quiet, and energy-efficient dwelling that reflects the heritage of the Bouldin neighborhood but is ready for a long future.
The entire upstairs is a luxurious master suite with walk-in closet, walk-in shower and large jetted bathtub.
Cork floors and live-edge travertine countertops complete the en-suite. The large bedroom features a vaulted ceiling giving it an open, airy feeling. There is a glass wall of windows with a slider that opens out to the large private balcony where the view is dominated by heritage oaks. In the distance, you can catch a glimpse of the downtown skyline with city lights shimmering through the oak leaves.
There are two outbuildings on the back of the property. One is an insulated and climate-controlled studio - currently an office and yoga space. The other is a workshop well-suited for serious hobbyists.
