Introducing an extraordinary opportunity to own a certified historic residence in the heart of Downtown Austin. Originally built in 1874, this freestanding 8,800 square foot estate has been masterfully reimagined, blending rich architectural heritage with refined modern luxury.
This five-bedroom, five full and three half-bathroom residence offers unparalleled elegance and function across its sprawling footprint.
