1503 E 15th St, Georgetown, TX 78626

$100,000 PRICE REDUCTION A rare architectural treasure in the heart of Old Town Georgetown. Originally designed in 1955 by celebrated Austin architect Claude M. Pendley, this distinguished Mid-Century Modern residence was commissioned for Georgetown’s trusted family physician and thoughtfully crafted to accommodate a growing household. For more than seven decades, it stood as a cherished private residence. Today, it has been masterfully restored—preserving its architectural soul while elevating it for modern living. Set just two blocks from Southwestern University and moments from Georgetown’s storied town square—often called “The Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas”—the home enjoys a location that blends academic charm, historic character, and vibrant local culture. Fine dining, boutique shopping, and community tradition are all within walking distance. In collaboration with local architect Richard Elsasser, Davilla Designs undertook a meticulous restoration, honoring the home’s original lines, proportions, and materials while seamlessly integrating updated systems and refined finishes. The interiors unfold with warmth and intention: custom white oak floors by Artisan Floors of San Antonio anchor the living spaces, while architectural detailing by TWC Architectural Moldings adds quiet sophistication. Retro-inspired Big Chill appliances offer a nod to the home’s mid-century pedigree, complemented by period-appropriate fixtures curated with care. Restored and newly installed windows bathe the interiors in natural light, enhancing the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. A terrazzo tile entry welcomes guests with timeless authenticity, while the iconic breeze block wall stands as both architectural statement and sculptural tribute to the era. This is more than a home—it is a preserved work of art, a meaningful piece of Georgetown history, and a rare opportunity to inhabit a thoughtfully reimagined Mid-Century Modern masterpiece.

A 0.56-acre parcel in Georgetown is the defining advantage here, especially at 1503 E 15th St, where lot scale, architecture, and location come together in a way that is increasingly hard to find in Georgetown. Offered at $1.40M, or $401 per square foot, the property pairs that land value with a 3,482-square-foot single family residence originally built in 1955. It sits within Georgetown ISD, with Annie Purl, James Tippit, and East View assigned, which matters for buyers weighing long-term usability as much as design. After 70 days on market, the numbers and the setting make clear this is not a standard infill offering.

What separates this home from most properties in its price range is that the structure itself carries architectural relevance. The residence was originally designed in 1955 by Austin architect Claude M. Pendley for a Georgetown physician’s family, giving it a level of authorship and provenance that serious buyers pay attention to. That matters even more because the house has not simply been updated. It was restored with the stated intent of protecting its original lines, proportions, and materials while bringing the home forward for current living. The result is a property where the historic framework remains central rather than incidental. Details cited in the restoration, including custom white oak floors, terrazzo tile at the entry, a breeze block wall, restored and newly installed windows, and retro-inspired appliances, support that position and reinforce the home’s mid-century identity instead of diluting it.

The location adds another layer of value. The property is in Old Town Georgetown, two blocks from Southwestern University and close to Georgetown’s town square, which gives it direct connection to one of the city’s most established and recognizable settings. For buyers who understand luxury through scarcity rather than excess, that combination carries real weight: over half an acre, a named architect, a 1955 construction date, three bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath, two fireplaces, and a two-car garage in a part of Georgetown where context is difficult to replicate. This is the kind of property that can hold appeal across cycles because its value is tied to land, authorship, and a location with enduring local relevance.
