Location!!! This High Design, eclectic-chic stunner is a true one-of-a-kind work of art. Every detail and material used in the build and design was thoughtfully chosen and placed using a mixture of new, vintage and repurposed materials making this perhaps the most unique home you will ever come across. A worldly master builder oversaw the renovation and expansion of the original 1939 house and materials were selected with quality and endurance in mind. Every detail has a story, down to the porcelain house numbers from Paris France. The property includes two full living spaces. Upstairs living room has 15'7" high ceiling with exposed parallam beams as a structural design feature, oil and wax finished hardwood floors, a 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 which is 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 Bouldin neighborhood location is 1 block away from the most happening part of S. 1st and a few blocks from 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 you could want. Eat drink, shop, daylife, nightlife,...on South 1ST or South Congress. Close to the new multi-level HEB grocery, downtown, Zilker and Barton Springs. Can be used as a single household, live-in + rental income, home needing in-law arrangement, home w/ guest quarters or prime for someone wanting to separate home from studio or office. If most houses bore you, you may have found the perfect fit in this incredible property. Check out the virtual skytour that shows just how close this property is to everything inner city.
