This unique, early 1900s farmhouse on 2.24 wooded acres is a true forever home. Situated among heritage oaks in a peaceful, hill country neighborhood, the sellers have made lasting memories here with their children and grandchildren for over 30 years. The details set this home apart from any other including original trim, mouldings and fireplace mantel from the late 1800s, solid wood doors and cabinetry, wainscoting, 11.5 foot ceilings, charming wooden staircase with authentic balustrade, pocket door dividers and beadboard porch ceiling.
Recent updates blend the historic preservation of a 1900s farmhouse with sustainable and modern features of comfortable living. Thoughtful upgrades prioritized energy efficiency and indoor air quality and include Low-E, double-hung windows, replacing original siding with Tyvec and Hardi siding, installing a Galvalume metal roof, 20,000 gallon, whole-house rainwater system, water purifier, two new HVAC systems and new duct work. In addition to whole-house rainwater, the property also has a well with Culligan water softener and is on a drain field septic system so there are no water or wastewater bills or required maintenance contracts.
Making the most of the natural environment, the home is situated among heritage oaks with an abundance of shade and almost 600 square feet of outdoor living space. The covered and elevated front porch takes advantage of the hill country breezes and the second floor offers hill country views for miles. Five minutes from Dripping Springs' newest elementary and middle schools, A-rated Cypress Springs and Sycamore Springs, and easy access to Mopac and Austin via 1826. Horses, goats and chickens allowed, one of the area's lowest tax rates and very low HOA fees. Add solar and be off the grid. Square footage total includes bedrooms with ceilings under seven foot.
