TIMELESS PRESERVATION

Located in the heart of Clarksville, one of Old West Austin's most historic neighborhoods filled with landmarks and beautiful views along its hilly streets, stands a stunning residence that redefines luxury living while maintaining that charm. Allow us to introduce the Cottage at the Castle. 

Spanning over 4,000 square feet, this architectural masterpiece harmoniously blends elegance with the historic charm of its surroundings. Overlooking Austin’s famous Castle at 11th street, which has named the neighborhood within Clarksville “Castle Hill,” this building served as the Texas Military Institute in the 1870s before being relocated to College Station and renamed the Texas A&M University campus. It holds the distinction of being the oldest college building in Texas. The Cottage, thoughtfully reimagined by the acclaimed Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects and brought to life by one of Austin’s finest luxury builders, Urban Constructors, was once the personal home of the college foreman.

This property sets a new standard for refined urban living, offering an unmatched lifestyle in the heart of Old West Austin. The property, designed across three levels, features Venetian plaster walls complemented by reclaimed pine floors, hand-stained terracotta tile, and bold marble selections that evoke a timeless charm.

Its gated exterior, complete with elegant landscaping, a plunge pool, and multiple outdoor living spaces, is a testament to the pinnacle of refined urban living, all with picturesque views of Clarksville and the Austin skyline.

The upper floor is reserved for an exquisite owner's suite, a sanctuary that extends onto an expansive deck with breathtaking views of downtown. This private retreat features an expansive walk-in closet and spa-like bath with bespoke cabinetry and ample storage. The suite's design and placement within the residence ensure privacy and tranquility, making it a perfect haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.

The thoughtfully designed interior is an entertainer's dream, with the lower level consisting of two ensuite bedrooms, a media room, and a chic bar/lounge area.
