Welcome to a piece of history in Downtown Bastrop! This charming 2260 square-foot home, built in 1986 for his mother by architect and restoration expert Clay Terrell, includes the craftsmanship of a bygone era combined with the conveniences and materials of today.
Hand stenciling on reclaimed eight-inch Long Leaf Pine flooring highlight the artistry of yesteryear complete with square nails greet you at the entry. Hand hewn wood beams and one by eight-inch shiplap painted walls with haint blue ceilings adorn both the interior and exterior, meticulously painted to highlight the unique imperfections of the wood. Antique lighting fixtures add a touch of nostalgia and elegance throughout the home, casting a warm glow in every room.
The interior boasts custom-built shaker cabinets in the kitchen, bathrooms, and living room, and echo the style of handcrafted wainscoting in the living room. Antique doorknobs perfectly complement the original six panel doors.
A recent addition, created by enclosing a screen porch, includes a spacious dining room with an office area seamlessly integrated to enhance modern living. An extended island boasting quartz countertops, new appliances, and undercabinet lighting enhances the updated kitchen. Open to the dining area, it is perfect for entertaining guests and creating culinary delights.
The newly renovated laundry room and half bath feature stunning tile flooring and adjoin a butler’s pantry leading to the garage.
The primary bedroom on the first-floor features two built-in closets and a beveled glass window which floods the room with natural light. A luxurious walk-in shower and marble countertops enhance the adjoining bathroom.
Reclaimed wood stairs lead to an area overlooking the living area and a study or sewing nook as well as the two additional bedrooms, the first of which has shiplap walls and hand-hewn beams. Another renovation transformed the third bedroom, originally an attic, into a cozy retreat with Western Red Cedar floors milled locally. The second story bath includes quartz countertops and a walk-in shower with elegant tile work.
Exterior updates include a new roof and hardy plank siding as well as a new gas water heater. The A/C system has been diligently maintained and serviced twice a year. New mini-splits help ensure customizable climate control. Spray foam insulation has recently been applied underneath the home, enhancing energy efficiency.
