Arguably one of the most historic homes in Austin, the current owners are the 3rd family to own this home in it's almost 130 year life span. Dubbed the Hirsh Home, this architectural beauty was built and lived in by the Hirsh family for many decades. The family owned and operated Hirsh's, which was a prominent clothing store in downtown Austin. It's been said that the Hirsh & Hormel family shared many meals in this home. The Keenan Family purchased the clothing store in the late-60's and the Hirsh Home in the mid-90's. This 2-Story Victorian has been restored back to it's former glory by the current owners. Large wrap around front porch and a proper foyer. Hardwood floors throughout. Some original leaded windows, others are Andersen. Finely crafted woodwork, doors, brass hinges + hardware can be found around every corner. Pocket doors and classic Victorian turret. Beautiful landscaping and large 2 stall garage round out the exterior. This is truly a story book home and a must see!
