About this home

Own a piece of Texas history where Old Austin charm meets Hill Country living. Originally built in 1902 and once used as an Austin sorority house, this remarkable residence was later relocated to its current setting just three miles from Downtown Dripping Springs. A deep covered front porch welcomes you into a light-filled entry featuring a stained-glass door and beautiful original woodwork. Soaring ceilings, clerestory windows with original hand cranks, hardwood floors, French doors, substantial pocket doors, decorative columns, and beamed living-room ceilings preserve the home’s distinctive character. The thoughtfully updated kitchen blends historic warmth with modern functionality, offering contemporary appliances, copper-topped pub counters, a center island with a butcher-block top, and a spacious walk-in butler’s pantry. Saltillo tile extends from the kitchen into the dining room. All three bedrooms are generously sized. One bathroom features bead board detailing and a pedestal sink. At the back of the home, a deep porch overlooks the property and mature oak trees, creating an inviting place to relax and enjoy the Hill Country setting. A separate workshop provides additional space for tools, hobbies, and projects. Located in Springlake Oaks, the property offers city water, underground utilities, and access from a county-maintained cul-de-sac street. The HOA is currently inactive; however, original Springlake deed restrictions remain in effect. Conveniently located near Downtown Dripping Springs, shopping, dining, wineries, breweries, and Dripping Springs ISD. From the moment you enter, it is clear this is no ordinary home, it is a rare combination of history, craftsmanship, warmth, and Hill Country character. Includes new driveway, new septic and completely renovated inside and out! Seller to include a $2,000 allowance towards an electric range. There is an existing gas line, but would require a propane tank. See agent for details.
