1815 W 8th St, Austin, TX 78703

A wonderful two bedroom, one bath brick bungalow in Clarksville. Once owned by an old Austin family the house has been lovingly refurbished to preserve the character and old Austin charm. On a good sized corner lot surrounded on two sides by a short native stone wall topped with an antique wrought iron fence, the property is in good, nearly original condition. There is a detached garage approached by a side-entry drive flanked by two pillars, and tall pecan trees shade the artfully arranged yard and garden.A very large front porch, pretty wood floors, and big windows are just some of the original features of the home. There is much original hardware and the black and white bathroom tile, both floor and wall, looks great. A pretty brick fireplace provides a focal point in the living area which is separated from the dining room by a classic wood cased archway. The original kitchen is quite serviceable, very pleasant, and nicely sized. The ceilings height is 9-1/2 feet throughout and there is a basement! Central heat and air and new electrical wiring were recently and carefully added. A new roof was put on at the end of September '08 and the paint is freshly done - inside and out. The design is good on this little classic. It's a true gem and you'll want to polish it carefully! Few homes in the area are this pretty and fewer are this well preserved. What's more, you'll love the karma here.
