About this property

* WISTFULLY SIMPLE * OLD-WORLD HARDY * TIMELESS & TRUE * This 1890’s treasure in Downtown Bastrop has been lovingly restored over 17 years. All in good order, all in good time, all in good hands. Foundation, electrical, plumbing, painting, and infinitely more (see the list of renovations.) It’s the kind of care that cannot be outsourced, the kind of workmanship that stands the test of time, the kind of attention that cannot be rushed. The long leaf pine feels rich underfoot, especially when paired with the 11’7” overhead. These are tall ceilings! Enjoy the versatility of the layout. The rooms can be repurposed to suit an ever-changing life. Every original window has been removed, reworked, reglazed and restored. Every surface has been painted. Every inch has been utilized and fortified. It’s a sturdy home that is customizable by the fortunate folks who get to call it theirs. The land is as spacious as it is gracious. It’s situated on a corner lot with much privacy in the front, access on the side, and a surprising amount of space tucked behind. The front porch runs the width of the house on Hill Street - a breezy swinging spot that’s friendly and grand. The side street Catalpa might be the quietest street in Bastrop! It’s narrow, discreet and quite petite. The L-shaped “extra lot” in the back was a garden in days of yore. It’s a lovely, sunny spot that could be kept green as a natural buffer between homes or it could be imagined differently – perhaps with a workshop or a guest cottage or an artist studio. B3 codes allow up 2 ADU’s (accessory dwelling units).
