Step back in time with the R.S. Dilworth House #1, a breathtaking residence designed by famed architect J. Riely Gordon in 1893. Situated on an expansive .85-acre double lot, this architectural gem is a historic-home lovers’ dream.
Spanning 3,124 square feet, the home has 3 spacious bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Upon entry, you’re met by the grand staircase, interior columns and wood paneled walls. You'll find intricate woodwork throughout, soaring ceilings, and five fireplaces that serve as stunning focal points. Tall windows bring in soft natural light, while covered patios and an upstairs screened-in porch invite you to relax and soak in the serene surroundings.
The garden is a retreat on it's own – made up of eight 4ft x 16ft beds, totaling 512 square feet of plantable area, including a well-established perennial herb garden. The entire yard has been seeded, planted and well established with Central Texas native plants, including the trees, grasses and wildflowers. The wildflowers are stunning every spring, bluebonnets especially. It all comes together to create an ideal habitat for birds, bees and butterflies. The yard is complete with an original root cellar and a cowboy pool for cooling off during warm Texas summers.
Perfectly situated just one hour from both Austin and San Antonio, two hours from Houston, and minutes to the newly reimagined Ottine Mineral Springs. The historical significance and abundant charm make this home a rare opportunity to own a truly special property.
