Own a piece of Austin history with this legendary estate, originally commissioned for Ben Hormel and stands today as one of the city’s most iconic residences. This magnificent property seamlessly blends historic prestige with timeless character. Comfort meets sophistication with four fireplaces found throughout the home, including two on the main level with one in the main-floor office which features its own half-bath. The kitchen features plenty of cabinet space, stone countertops and a classic butler pantry, while the grand formal dining room provides an exquisite setting for entertaining. For more relaxed gatherings, the expansive four-season porch, surrounded by windows on three sides, offers a serene retreat that walks out to a private patio. The upper level is home to a secluded primary suite—a true sanctuary, also with its own fireplace, a generous walk-in closet, and a 3/4 ensuite bath. The additional bedrooms are surprisingly spacious, a rare find for a home of this vintage, and are served by two more bathrooms on the same level. Further living space awaits in the finished attic, which includes a large cedar closet, and a lower level designed for recreation with a large family room and a built-in bar. Situated on a massive city lot, on over a third of an acre with mature oaks, this property offers an unparalleled combination of architectural grandeur and outdoor space.
