1920s Stone Cottage in Clarksville Overlooking Park 

1920s stone cottage overlooking bucolic West Austin Neighborhood Park. This charming, storybook property is perched on the edge of an urban green space in the center of Clarksville, one of Austin’s oldest neighborhoods.  Surrounded by Austin history, you'll be a few steps from West Sixth street, where you can relax with a coffee on the patio at Swedish Hill, explore art galleries or enjoy a cocktail at The Nightcap.  To the north you could walk to one of Austin’s most iconic restaurants, Jeffrey’s or enjoy a casual meal at Cippolina.  Whole Foods and the heart of downtown is just a half mile away, as is Lady Bird Lake and the trail. 

Lovingly Restored with Modern Conveniences

Lovingly restored, the stone and clapboard home take you back to an earlier time, without sacrificing modern conveniences.  The original long-leaf pine floors glow in the sunlight streaming from period, refurbished windows.  Charm unfolds across three levels. The main floor features a cozy sitting room up front overlooking the wide front porch, a cottage-style kitchen with updated appliances, a dining area and a sunny second living room.  A wall of windows looks out over the tree-shaded raised deck and park.  Throughout you’ll find creative touches that enhance the charm of the home, a crystal chandelier, built-in bookshelves and rustic wood countertops in the bathrooms. 

Flexible, Charming Spaces

The entire second floor comprises a light-flooded, treetop primary suite which enjoys vaulted ceilings, a fireplace-warmed sitting room and private park side balcony where you can sip your morning coffee and watch the dog-walkers in the park below.  A sunny bath has a large walk-in shower and soaking tub under a window. An entire bedroom space has been repurposed into a dressing room, complete with washer and dryer.  On the lower level is a wonderful, flexible space opening to a grotto-like stone patio.  With a bathroom and closet, the space can be used as another bedroom, an artist’s studio, or both.  The existing ADU currently serves as storage, but with plumbing and electricity, endless possibilities with this space.  With its ultra-desirable and charming location, this property offers incredible opportunities.  Own a piece of Austin history with this classic Clarksville cottage.
