Description
NOTE: All showings require a preapproval letter or proof of funds prior to appointment confirmation. A rare architectural treasure in historic Georgetown, the J. H. Reedy House blends Late Victorian elegance with modern luxury. Built circa 1910 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 29, 1956 reference #86000949, this extraordinary 4,652-square-foot residence sits on approximately 0.80 acres across from Southwestern University, with 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 1 half bath, and a detached 3-car garage. From 1913 to 1938, the home served as a Kappa Sigma fraternity house, adding a remarkable 25-year chapter to its storied past. More than $900,000 in renovations since 2020 honor its architectural heritage while introducing modern comforts. A sweeping wraparound porch with Doric columns, Brazilian Ipe decking, and a sky-blue beadboard ceiling sets the tone. Inside, an original Victorian staircase, leaded-glass windows, hardwood floors, and restored millwork showcase timeless craftsmanship. Formal living and dining rooms feature distinctive fireplaces, complemented by a office/music room, private office, and media room. The chef's kitchen offers a Dacor range, custom cabinetry, and butcher-block island with prep sink, opening to a sunlit breakfast room. Two primary suites, one on each level, offer flexibility for multigenerational living. The main-level suite features a fireplace, French doors, walk-in closet, and marble shower; upstairs, the second suite boasts handcrafted longleaf-pine vanities, marble counters, clawfoot tub, and travertine shower. A covered veranda overlooks the pool and spa, English-inspired gardens, mature trees, and a French-inspired gazebo with a distinctive lead roof. Highlights include a DaVinci composite slate roof and SPAN smart electrical panel. Minutes from Georgetown's Town Square, this landmark estate offers an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Texas history. Schedule your private showing today!
