MLS# 5836119 - 1703 Michael Street, Austin, TX 78704

Presenting a rare opportunity to own a 1.5 acre estate property in Barton Hills. 1703 Michael St. combines 2 separate lots into a private, tree covered sanctuary less than 3 miles from downtown, and within easy walking distance to Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park. Here is the perfect location for an exemplary, custom built home with room for outdoor amenities. A winding drive elevates you to the center of the property where a westerly view is available. The existing home was built in 1961 and is over 4600 square feet. The split-level, ranch design used quality construction and materials, but is likely a candidate for change for todays’ lifestyles. Whether its privacy or entertaining space that is desired, this property can fill the bill. The rear garden includes low, native stone planters that punctuate the paver walkways winding around the property and a beautiful covered pergola provides a wonderful outdoor space for gatherings. There’s room for play at the basketball court near the back of the property, and a separate building acts as a small gardening shed and workshop near the garage. Surrounded by luxury homes on large lots, and with only three homes on this short, quiet street, the location doesn’t get much better for a Central Austin estate.
