Description
A rare opportunity to own a historic East Austin estate with an unmistakable creative spirit just blocks from the French Legation. Built in 1906 and set on an expansive 9,900+ square foot lot, 1007 E 8th Street offers over 5,200 square feet of dramatic living space designed for gathering, creating, and inspiring. Currently configured with six bedrooms and five baths across three levels, the home unfolds through a series of gallery-like rooms with soaring ceilings, original wood floors, multiple fireplaces, and expansive wall space ideal for displaying art or hosting events. The flexible floor plan allows for a wide range of possibilities-from a striking private residence to a live-work artist compound or income-producing rental property with a history of hosting guests. Thoughtful updates complement the historic architecture, including spa-inspired bathrooms, a chef's kitchen designed for entertaining, and a sauna retreat. Outdoor spaces extend the creative energy of the home with shaded decks and private courtyards perfect for sculpture gardens, intimate gatherings, or outdoor dining under the trees. Located in the heart of East Austin's cultural district near Franklin Barbecue, Paperboy, Whole Foods, and some of the city's most vibrant galleries, studios, and restaurants, the property offers walkable access to the neighborhood's dynamic arts and culinary scenes. Rich in Austin history and creative character, 1007 E 8th Street invites its next owner to live boldly, host beautifully, and shape the next chapter of this iconic property.
