This historic turn of the century Central Texas home was built in 1906 by C.S Belford for E.J. Glasscock-Talbot, daughter of Georgetown's founder, George W Glasscock. Since then, it has been meticulously maintained and updated with modern touches, with an emphasis on preserving the character associated with the remarkable history. The 2, 906sqft, two-story home features original long leaf pine flooring, tall ceilings, original staircase, fireplace, double hung windows, and antique lighting. The primary bedroom features the original bead board walls, generous natural lighting, and an en-suite bathroom that includes an antique clawfoot tub, two vanities, and a spacious steam shower with Carrara marble seating. The Kitchen has been remodeled and brought up to date with modern appliances. The beautifully crafted staircase leads to two guest rooms and a single bath. The wraparound porch porch offers tremendous shade and a great view of the 1+ acre stocked pond (bass, bluegill, and catfish). A wonderful place to sit, relax, and take in the country setting while being under 30 minutes from Downtown Austin. Both ponds on the property are believed to be 15-20 feet in depth and hold consistent water year around. The main home is complimented by a two car garage that was built to accommodate any hobby. With cabinets, plenty of counter space, stainless steel sink, and a full bathroom, there are many options available for the new owner. Above the garage is large, open concept apartment complete with a full kitchen, bathroom, and room for a king sized bed. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Central Texas History, situated on 11+/- acres, with quick and easy access to all of the modern amenities Austin and its surrounding communities have to offer. Located 20 miles from downtown Austin, 17 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and only 5 miles from the small town of Manor which allows for quick access to immediate necessities.
