Artfully restored from stem to stern, this 60’s era ranch style home was reimagined into an open, light and bright mid-century modern, just a short commute from Austin. This eclectic beauty sits on almost half an acre in the mature part of historic Taylor, TX, and includes a separate 2-story barn and carriage house from the original early 1900’s homestead. (She-shed/man-cave/studio/workshop/toy storage opportunities abound!) Vintage elements from both eras were thoughtfully integrated into the re-design and staging of the home to create an interesting, historically relevant space in a thoroughly modern setting. The frosted-glass paneled front door opens to a cleverly integrated dining/living area, adjoined by a semi-open kitchen awash in aquamarine cabinetry and sparkly quartz countertops. There's a large walk-through bonus room that would make a great office, gameroom, studio, or even a 5th bedroom. On the functional side, this home boasts amazing storage and 4 huge bedrooms—all with TWO closets—rare today. Your outdoor relaxation options range from private encounters on a pecan-shaded rear patio, to the Taylor tradition of “sittin a spell” on your open front deck. The fully permitted renovation included foundation leveling, opening up the kitchen and dining areas, new laminate flooring, new plumbing (including new fixtures plus all new pvc sewer lines!), updated electric throughout, 4-ton Trane heat pump system, new architectural shingle roof, double-paned vinyl windows, stainless appliances, and a gorgeous new hybrid urban/rural stained fence. Perfect location on Davis St, surrounded by lovely Victorian homes, walking distance to Murphy Park and historic downtown Taylor and it’s famous BBQ, and just a block from the amazing Plowman’s Restaurant and Old Taylor High which has been re-purposed into retail, cafe, bar, and social spaces. Enjoy original art by five amazing Austin-area artists! Escape the rat race…and come sit a spell in Taylor!
