2601 Geraghty Ave

Austin, Texas 78757

This precious house initially greets you from the street with all the nostalgia of 1950's Allandale. But beyond the front door are tastefully and uniquely updated rooms that blend traditional with modern aesthetics and truly welcome you HOME. This is only the second time in over 70 years that 2601 Geraghty has been on the market. The current owners re-imagined the original footprint in 2020 with a clean, minimalistic, and inviting Scandinavian flair that is built around functionality and light-filled, calm, open, and airy spaces. Seat your family and friends in the bright, fully modernized kitchen with lengthy island, quartz countertops, and updated stainless appliances. Or move your meals into the dining area that is large enough to easily accommodate 8-10 people. But it's in the living room where you experience the home's authentic Nordic design, where one of a kind built-in seating areas are free to be dressed up with your own colors, design, and fabrics. The owner's suite was renovated to maximize the space, and includes a custom built-in closet area as well as a customized walk-in closet, plus a fully updated bath with vessel sink and spacious walk-in shower. The two secondary bedrooms are both of ample size and each overflows with charm and character that is sure to be enjoyed by anyone who may occupy them. Stepping into the back yard feels a bit like walking into a fairy tale garden. Being on a .27 acre corner lot, there is plenty of room to enjoy nature and entertain on your expansive back deck, or perhaps to eventually expand the home or add a detached garage. FUN FACT: The roses along the exterior wall of the separate office/storage shed were flown in from England by the current owners. When in full bloom, they are absolutely gorgeous! This home is zoned to the highly rated Gullett Elementary, Lamar Middle School, and McCallum High School. Additional improvements during the 2020 renovation include updated HVAC, water heater, flooring, and fencing.
