Discover a beautifully transformed 1916 downtown mansion that perfectly blends historic charm with modern sophistication. Located just blocks from the Texas State Capitol in the prestigious Judges Hill Neighborhood, this ±6,000 SF property offers unparalleled potential.

The property boasts distinctive artwork by local artists, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of each room.
Recently rezoned to DMU (Downtown Mixed Use), the property offers a wide range of potential uses, including boutique hotel, medical or wellness center, senior living, creative office, or even a dream downtown residence.
