About the host
Hosted by Paprika Leaverton
I bought the Garden St. House is 2001 and renovated it 3 times. This last time I added a New Orleans style front porch and remodeled both bathrooms and kitchen. Very nice!
The house was built in 1912 and was quite the renovation. I vaulted the ceilings and opened up the left side of the house making arches and adding colorful walls. The original house.. but now polished with beautiful pine floors are throughout the house. I have 1 other house in Austin as well, and take great care and pride in keeping the houses clean, efficient and well maintained.
I love this house and live here when I'm not traveling. Here is a great home away from home at the Garden Street House. Enjoy your stay!
Why they chose this property
This is a wonderful house because of the nearby parks, lake and its close access to downtown, 6th street and everything cool! It's a safe, quiet older neighborhood with wonderful neighbors and location.
The House has been updated and transformed and is in top shape while maintaining the integrity of the original house with character, style, lots of room, tall ceilings an incredible quiet location, close to everything.
Subdued colors complement the various rooms of the 1800 square foot house as well as high ceilings, all with a comfortable 'you are at home' feel.
The kitchen is large great for gatherings.
I just had to purchase this property, because of its big porch and good bones. I've made it into a very beautiful place that I share with you.
What makes this property unique
The big covered New Orleans style front porch reminds me of the slower simpler days of the early 1900's when neighbors used to spend alot of time outside drinking lemonade to stay cool in the hot Austin summers, waving to neighbors and enjoying the occasional rainstorm while sitting under the protected large porch.
And yes... we have central AC/Heat to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. You can still enjoy the Texas rain and have a wonderful shelter on this amazing porch.
The vaulted ceilings and comfortable 3 bedrooms and 2 baths that were recently renovated create a very homestyle feeling in this sturdy and amazing home.
Thank you for visiting my Garden St. House. See you soon!
