4540 Duval St, Austin, TX 78751

Located in the Hyde Park area, this home stands as a testament to preservation and love. Dating back to 1936, this charming house was rescued from the brink of demolition in 2011 by a dedicated father-daughter team. What followed was a meticulous renovation, breathing new life into every corner while honoring its heritage. Step inside, and you'll find a home where modern convenience meets timeless elegance. The foundation, reinforced with new poured concrete piers, ensures stability for years to come. Electrical and plumbing systems were completely overhauled, including a new 200amp service and copper wiring throughout. An efficient Rinnai gas-fired water heater provides long showers and tub soaks, while a state-of-the-art HVAC system keeps the temperature just right. The bathroom is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring custom porcelain tiles and a refurbished cast iron bathtub perfect for long soaks. The kitchen is efficient, with wood cabinetry, granite countertops, gas range, pantry and European all-in-one laundry. Original hardwood floors have been lovingly restored and are beautifully complemented by historic preservation craftsman Peter Hausmann’s – period wallpaper installation. Every detail, from the period wood trim to the vintage glass doorknobs, speaks of craftsmanship and care. Outside, the magic continues. Operable double-hung wood windows flood the rooms with natural light, while a new roof ensures peace of mind. The backyard is an oasis of greenery, with native wildflowers, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden. The best of Hyde Park culinary is just down the street – Hyde Park Grill, Antonelli’s cheese, Quacks Bakery, Julio’s, Curra's, and even Juice Land. A place where past and present intertwine, offering comfort, beauty, and a true sense of home and central Austin vibes. Located in a central Austin bike-friendly neighborhood with easy access to public transport, 4540 Duval Street is more than just a house—it's a haven.
