A rare opportunity to own a historic East Austin estate with an unmistakable creative spirit just blocks from the French Legation. Built in 1906 and set on an expansive 9,900+ square foot lot, 1007 E 8th Street offers over 5,200 square feet of dramatic living space designed for gathering, creating, and inspiring. Currently configured with six bedrooms and five baths across three levels, the home unfolds through a series of gallery-like rooms with soaring ceilings, original wood floors, multiple fireplaces, and expansive wall space ideal for displaying art or hosting events. The flexible floor plan allows for a wide range of possibilities—from a striking private residence to a live-work artist compound or income-producing rental property with a history of hosting guests.

Outdoor spaces extend the creative energy of the home with shaded decks and private courtyards perfect for sculpture gardens, intimate gatherings, or outdoor dining under the trees. Located in the heart of East Austin’s cultural district near Franklin Barbecue, Paperboy, Whole Foods, and some of the city’s most vibrant galleries, studios, and restaurants, the property offers walkable access to the neighborhood’s dynamic arts and culinary scenes.

    "Though Austin schools have been criticized, the Blackshear Elementary school is in the top 10 in AISD. We have 4th Fridays on 11th Street where restaurants and retailers join with residents to celebrate our neighborhood. Quick jaunt to the airport, too, without the noise - airlines usually fly away from our neighborhood - incoming/outgoing. And there is Metrorail nearby. Truly a changing community with inclusion for old and new."
