Originally built in 1928, this home is nestled among seven Heritage Live Oak trees and situated in the heart of everything that makes Austin Austin! 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.
