Description
Step into a piece of Austin history with this charming, one-of-a-kind property in the heart of the city. Located at 1201 Canterbury Street, this classic 1907 center-hallway farmhouse offers 1,439 sq/ft of timeless beauty, featuring soaring 11.5 ft ceilings, original transom windows, elegant hardwood floors, and stunning molding throughout. The 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home exudes warmth and character, with west-facing windows framing breathtaking downtown views, and a cozy north-facing front porch—ideal for enjoying your morning coffee as you watch the city come alive. Enhancing its appeal is the newly completed, never-lived-in ADU at 79 Waller Street, a 1,298 sq/ft, 2-unit back house with a 1-car garage. This versatile space offers a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment (418 sq/ft) on the ground floor and a spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment (880 sq/ft) upstairs, both showcasing sweeping views of downtown Austin. The ADU is crafted with high-end finishes, featuring on-trend tile, custom cabinetry, upgraded hardware, and enhanced casement windows that perfectly frame the skyline. Custom metalwork and a sleek standing seam roof complete the design, blending elegance with modern sophistication. Sold as a compound, this property provides a rare opportunity to establish a condo regime, allowing you to potentially sell 1201 Canterbury and 79 Waller separately in the future. While the front and back homes share water, they each have their own electric and gas meters. Embrace the unique charm and endless possibilities of this Austin original—an investment that offers both a lifestyle and legacy in one of the city’s most sought-after locations.
