1517 W 29th ST, Austin TX 78703

This exceptional property is located right in the heart of the Pemberton Heights/Brykerwoods neighborhood in Old West Austin. Built in 1940, this pristine historic home is a contributing property on the national register of historic places by the US Department of the Interior. Impeccably built and preserved, the exterior is all painted brick masonry, and the original windows have been maintained in excellent condition. There is a front porch with beadboard ceiling and a charming foyer that welcome you into the home. Once inside, you will appreciate the gorgeous hardwood floors and craftsman details of the timeless trim work, crown molding, and original doors. The design boasts authentic Mexican flooring with Saltillo clay tile and custom Talavera wall tiling in both bathrooms, and around the fireplace surround. The artisan fireplace features an 8-foot antique sugar mold mantle and hand crafted Italian wrought iron hardware. Other great features are the custom wood window blinds, integrated bookshelves, and retractable phantom screens on all of the French doors that lead to the exterior. The chef's kitchen is in the heart of the home, and has all seamless commercial kitchen grade stainless steel countertops, sink, and backsplash with undermount lighting. As you pass through the kitchen, there is a wonderful flex space that works well as a home office, exercise room, or could easily be turned into a third bedroom. Pass through the French doors and you are transported to a backyard sanctuary with Mexican clay bricks that make up the exterior stairs and patio; underneath the huge pecan trees. One of the best, and most unique, features with this property is that it has a side entry driveway that passes through a swing gate all the way to a detached 2 car garage; which is a real premium in central Austin neighborhoods. The location could not be more convenient to everything in central Austin, and the home feeds into the sought after Casis Elementary School.
