in one of austin’s most quietly coveted neighborhoods, where homes rarely become available, this timeless old enfield residence sits on a rare corner lot and brings classic red brick architecture into a beautifully updated, turnkey form, with architecture by hugh randolph and interiors by liz macphail. from the moment you enter, soaring ceilings draw the eye upward to a striking skylight, creating a first impression that feels both grand and intimate.
the formal living room is anchored by one of the home’s three fireplaces and opens toward the private backyard and pool, creating an elegant setting for entertaining. nearby, the dining room connects to a beautiful bar and flows naturally into the kitchen, where new surfaces, thoughtful updates, and a window-lined breakfast nook make the everyday spaces feel just as considered as the formal ones.
one of the home’s most special rooms is the downstairs office, complete with its own fireplace. it is warm, private, and full of character, the kind of room that makes you understand the house instantly. a full bath allows the space to function flexibly as a guest suite if needed, while a hidden half bath beneath the staircase adds a charming architectural detail.
upstairs, the primary suite offers a moodier retreat with its own fireplace, walk-in closet, clawfoot tub, and a sense of privacy that feels rare this close to the center of austin. four additional bedrooms are generously sized, with two ensuite baths and one jack-and-jill arrangement. a cozy media room, office nook, and walk-in laundry room complete the second level.
outside, the current owners added a stunning private pool, giving the property a true in-town sanctuary feel. with a 3-car garage, turnkey updates, and a location just moments from jeffrey’s, pease park, and some of austin’s most beloved neighborhood streets, this is a rare opportunity in old enfield.
