Property Description
The year was 1913. Streetcars clattered through Austin's tree-lined streets, the Texas State Capitol was just beginning to glow with the marvel of electric light, and whispers of war stirred across the Atlantic. Just west of the 30-year-old University of Texas, a grand home took root atop a bluff—overlooking the rolling beauty of Pease Park and the Texas Hill Country beyond.
Set on a full city block, 1305 W. 22nd Street has quietly stood as a sentinel through generations of growth and change. It is notably the last large estate on the cliff east of Shoal Creek. Lovingly maintained across 112 years, this elegant home is steeped in history yet thoughtfully updated to meet the needs of modern living. Solar panels assist in heating and cooling, offering a sustainable touch to this timeless residence.
Behind the main home sits a charming carriage house—roughly 360 square feet—which offers added flexibility. It has a full bath and kitchenette and is perfect for guests, creative pursuits, or a quiet retreat.
Now, while her owners spend a year overseas, this storied home is searching for temporary stewards. Not just tenants, but caretakers—people who will appreciate the soul of this place and carry its legacy forward, even if only for a little while.
This is more than a lease. It's a rare opportunity to live in a piece of Austin's living history, where century-old trees shade the porches and the rhythm of the city feels just far enough away.
Availability begins in August.
