300 W Walnut ST

Rare opportunity to own a 1920s bungalow in the historic Old Town neighborhood of downtown Pflugerville. This home was modified and restored under the direction of Austin architect Emily Little in 2006/7 to create a more modern floorpan while retaining its historic charm. The shotgun hall in the center of the home ties together all the downstairs living areas. It's large enough for a sitting area, a bar or as a space to display your art collection. The kitchen includes soapstone counters, a large butcher block island with a vegetable sink, built in Viking convection oven, Viking venthood, and Kitchenaid dishdrawers. The cabinets are custom and some feature glass fronts. The centerpiece of the family room is a fireplace flanked by solid limestone pillars and topped with a solid limestone mantle. The fireplace is currently set up for gas logs, but it can easily be converted back to wood. The owner's en suite bathroom features a large soaking tub, separate shower, marble/slate flooring, marble tub surround, bidet, and a marble sink atop an antique cabinet. The owner's closet was designed with abundant built in shelving and drawers. Austin interior designer Tense Vitale was engaged to create the elegant library that includes generous built in shelves and storage. Accent lighting in the library is placed to highlight your art or book collections. The upstairs of the home consists of a large open family/bonus room, a bedroom and a bathroom, complete with a vintage claw foot tub. Flooring throughout the home is wood, with the exception of the owner's en suite bathroom. All ceilings are beadboard. The roman shades were designed by Cush Cush Design. This home is an estate and has not been occupied since 2018. As a result, the elegance envisioned by the owner has faded. Some of the high end finishes are now tarnished. There is work to be done. This is your opportunity to bring the property back up to its former state or add your own special touches.
