The centerpiece of the property is a beautifully preserved Queen Anne Folk Victorian style historic home, (2116 sf) exuding the elegance and character of its era with a colorful exterior, gingerbread siding, and an expansive, sweeping porch that gracefully wraps around the front and side of the house. Among the meticulously tended grounds, complete with antique brick paths, water features and a quaint white picket fence, lie a gazebo and a whimsical greenhouse.

Already a thriving downtown area with an eclectic mix of lovely shops, spas, yoga studios, local restaurants, bars and a brand new library, the city has approved plans and is already underway to create more park and green space by the iconic water tower. The Lawn at Brushy Creek project is a 20-plus acre park that will connect Heritage Trail West to Veteran’s park via a pedestrian bridge, establishing a canoe launch and developing over 6 acres along Pecan St/Georgetown Street. Popular recurring events such as Music on Main, Chalk Walk and other festivals as well as pop up artist markets delight visitors to this fun town all within walking distance to the property. Owning a property in downtown Round Rock prior to the city improvements presents a once in a lifetime chance to benefit from increased value as a result of these enhancements.
The light and airy main house with 11.5 ft ceilings presents multiple living areas, a vintage kitchen and large dining area. The primary bedroom located on the first level is complete with an ensuite bath that houses a beautiful clawfoot cast iron tub. Ascend the stairs where you'll discover three additional bedrooms and a shared bath as well as nooks and crannies reminiscent of this style of home. One of the bedrooms stands out with its generous size and built-in shelving, offering both functionality and charm. Original windows and hand selected original long leaf pine flooring grace every corner of the home, adding warmth and character as well.
The studio house, also referred to as the "servants' cottage," holds a prestigious historical designation and is estimated to have been constructed between 1895 and 1900. Recently, it underwent a comprehensive renovation, meticulously stripped down to the studs and reimagined with careful consideration. The renovation was thoughtfully executed by adding on to the house and incorporating artistic touches such as numerous stained glass windows, local artist’s tile work built into the walls, beadboard, antique sliding doors and cabinets, large modern shower, and charming front and side porches. Complete with its own utilities, this property operates as Annabella’s Airbnb which attracts visitors from all over the world!
Located in the heart of downtown Round Rock, this incomparable property provides the perfect blend of convenience and charm, allowing residents to enjoy the vibrant community while still savoring the tranquility of their own private retreat.
