Looking for Peace Wrapped in Comfort and Style? Well, This East Austin Home Is a Must-See

A well-designed home that can blend historic character with contemporary design will absolutely set the mood for you every time you walk through the door. Whether you are coming home from a hectic day at work or a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, what you want when you come home is peace.

At peace is exactly how this stunningly reimagined 1940s bungalow in the Rosewood neighborhood of East Austin will make you feel.

Photographed by the talented James Ruiz, the photos will make you feel as though you have been teleported to the home for a personal tour. They capture perfectly how it feels.

Welcome home.

The bungalow beautifully maintains its character from the 1940s while melding contemporary design across two buildings. The transition is seamless.

Redesigned and expanded by Oliver Custom Homes and FAIA award-winning architect Ripley Rasmus, this home offers four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and 2,330 square feet of space.

Each room throughout the home is thoughtfully crafted for comfort and style. In other words, it is designed to bring you peace no matter where you are in the home.

The kitchen and bathrooms benefit from rift-cut oak cabinetry, Calacatta Viola stone, and terrazzo and cement tile finishes. When you add all of that together, you get absolute serenity.

There is an abundance of natural light throughout the bungalow, which makes working from home or simply relaxing that much more pleasurable.

Every detail in this Rosewood home is intentional, right down to the Longhorn burnt orange terrazzo tile.

As you can see, the residence balances original character with a meticulous contemporary sensibility. 

Now, when it is time to completely relax and get recharged for the next day, the primary suite will absolutely do the trick.

The primary suite features a custom built-in wardrobe and a private balcony.

The best way to describe the primary suite bath is spa-inspired. There is a freestanding tub for your peace of mind, a double vanity, and dual walk-in showers.

As an added bonus, there is a little casita in the back that will give your guests the chance to enjoy the best of Austin’s creative and cultural hubs, plenty of which are within easy walking distance.

It’s not very often that a home comes along offering refined Austin living with the guarantee of finding peace whenever you come home. That is what is waiting for you at 1405 Harvey St., which is priced at $1,600,000.
