Tarrytown is home to some of the most prestigious properties in all of Austin, yet 2508 Inwood Place still holds at least two notable distinctions that make it stand out, even among such distinguished company.
First, there’s the requisite mid-century architectural details: post-and-beam construction, tongue-and-groove ceilings, striking sandstone masonry walls, crank windows, and floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding a serene patio.
Although you’ll find a variety of architectural styles in Tarrytown, the number of mid-century modern homes that have retained much of their original flair is quite small.
That fact alone is significant, but 2508 Inwood Place has the best of both worlds: Modern updates where it counts—kitchen, bathrooms, flex space—accentuated by the delightful mid-century details listed above.
Second, the home is majestically perched atop a small hill on a quiet cul-de-sac, providing the ultimate in both security and curb appeal.
(In case you’re not familiar with the area, cul-de-sacs are extremely rare in Tarrytown. And 2508 Inwood is flanked by other mid-century modern homes, creating one of the most architecturally significant enclaves in the city.)
Location, Location, Location!
The city of Austin works on a north-south axis, and this means key arteries like Mopac and I-35 are often gridlocked with traffic.
And let’s not kid ourselves—the traffic problem isn’t going to get any better.
The only solution is to live somewhere that doesn’t require you to travel too far north or south to reach points of interest.
