Garden Sanctuary in Tarrytown
This beautifully finished classic Texas style home is situated on a large lot (about 100’ x 129’) in the heart of Tarrytown. It was custom built for its owners by long-time Austin builder, Preston Harvey, in 2001. Fabulous gardens, with rustic stone walls and walkways, surround the home and extend the interior to the outdoors. The landscape was designed by the renowned Catherine O’Connor, of Co’Design. The beautifully crafted grounds are truly a part of the wonderful livability of this home, creating an outdoor refuge with open spaces under towering trees, and paths through natural wildness.
A covered front porch connects the home to the historic neighborhood, a place where people walk, push strollers and stop to visit. Stepping stones lead through a vine covered archway to a private stone patio, perfect for outdoor evenings! Inside the home, the rich colors, wood floors, abundant windows, and open floor plan blend modern and historic styles. Granite counters, craftsman style cabinets, a center island built at “rolling” height, and a six burner gas range create an eclectic kitchen, made for cooking and entertaining.
The main house is approximately, 3170 sf. There is an apartment over the attached garage with about 836 sf., compete with living, dining, kitchen, bedroom, and bath. It is rented on a month to month basis. The main home includes a downstairs master, plus two bedrooms, two baths and gameroom upstairs.
