Please do not miss the opportunity to own this truly one of a kind home, serenely positioned on over an acre at the top of Oak Hill! This remarkable retreat was the home of UT Austin Professor Jean Andrews a.k.a "The Pepper Lady." It was her vision to maximize views of the unheard of park-like setting, so close to downtown, that surrounds the entire home by combining walls of windows, soaring ceilings with skylights and transoms, and screened-in porches. This home provides many unique features including D'hanis tile floors, exposed beams, exquisite chandeliers, stately fireplace, and plantation shutters. The stunning living and dining rooms, charming kitchen, and luxurious office create an open layout that surrounds a 25' vaulted atrium with cedar walls that serves as the heart of the home. The owner's retreat features shiplap walls, crown molding, two bathrooms with a courtyard off the soaking tub, and two walk-in closets!. All secondary bedrooms have en-suites and feature sliding doors that overlook the truly massive backyard and chicken coop. The 4,000 gallon rainwater tanks water the yard! There is a guest house attached to the garage that has a kitchenette and bathroom. STR IS ALLOWED! The adjacent lot is available for purchase separately or together with the home.
