Description
There is so much to love about this one-of-a-kind castle house on a quiet street in West Austin's historic Old Enfield neighborhood. It has been remodeled with meticulous attention to detail and design to retain a mix of 1930's charm and modern elegance. The house feels cozy yet spacious with a large kitchen, a wonderful natural light-filled downstairs, and an open floorplan upstairs that offers a variety of living and working spaces. The first floor has large windows and high ceilings. The second floor has wall-to-wall French doors, vaulted ceilings, and there is custom woodwork and cabinetry. A wealth of storage space throughout, a full garage with a second floor, a custom circular staircase, huge trees, original oak hardwood floors, a 50-year impact-resistant roof, solar panels and a battery backup system are just a few of the outstanding features here.
A complete restoration in 1994 brought the house to like-new condition, including a complete rebrick of the exterior. The house was improved with insulation, completely replumbed, electric completely updated, HVAC installed, and the foundation was engineered and replaced with concrete piers to accommodate the weight of a new second floor. The garage, its location grandfathered-in on the back property lines, was also restored and improved: resurfacing and reenforcing the concrete floor and updating the plumbing and electric. A 2011-2012 build added square footage by building up while maintaining the original footprint of the house and garage. Solar panels and a battery backup system were added in 2012, which has provided electricity during power outages, including the February 2021 freeze. Outdoor woodwork maintenance/restoration was done by excellent craftsmen in 1994, 2008, and 2019. A few steps from the Enfield and MOPAC corridor, the Johnson Creek Greenbelt entry, and Westenfield Park, this well-built house is a rare opportunity for a central Austin buyer.
