Description
Ask for Documents w/History and Pre-inspection. 841 E. 38th is ready for you to bring it back to its Mid-century Modern (MCM) glory! Designed in the 1950s by award-winning architect Leonard J. Lundgren, A.I.A., this one-of-a-kind draws inspiration from the 1949 Better Homes & Gardens- Trend Home. Located in sought-after Beau Site, just north of UT and across from Hancock Golf Course, it has been in one family since its inception. MCM became popular post WWII for its simple, functional design & clean lines. This home beautifully embodies the principles, featuring a dramatic entryway highlighted by a striking fireplace wall. The living room offers expansive windows & a classic brick fireplace.. The kitchen was designed for convenience and style, with a counter-to-dinette serving area, double-sided drawers, & cabinet passthrough to the dining. The bedrooms boast large closet cabinets w/ built-ins, offering ample storage.In keeping with the 1949 Trend House inspiration, the lower level includes a workroom, garage parking, and a rare addition—a “bomb shelter.” The abundance of windows throughout the home gives a sense of living among the trees. The custom wood-frame windows are worth restoring, and vintage bathroom tiles hold nostalgic charm. Situated on 0.277 acre lot -plenty of room to add a pool, garden, or outdoor living space to further enhance property.
Ideally located, with Hancock Golf Course just across the street, and neighboring attractions like The Commodore Perry Resort. Adjacent Hyde Park blends seamlessly into Hancock, offering excellent dining, shopping, and recreational options. Just minutes from UT, top medical facilities & DT Austin, this is a prime location. While the home requires updates and maintenance, its strong bones and incredible potential make it a worthwhile project. Bring your architect- explore the possibilities. If you have a vision for MCM design & value the convenience of central Austin, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
