Full Description: Located in the heart of central Austin, sits an legendary historical estate situated on over 3 acres of manicured lawns. Built in 1920 and inspired by Arabian Nights, this 4 bedroom, 4 ˝ bath home situated on immaculate gated and walled grounds has been remodeled through the years but still captures some of its original history and charm. Inshallah, as the property is known, is the oldest existing home on Waller Creek, and was believed to be a campground for Indians camping near the spring before Austin was a village – thus the legend of the giant twisted oak: Inshallah’s huge spiraling live oak on the front lawn is said to be the result of a sapling trained by native Americans and to be the sign of plentiful springs and good camping grounds. The ceilings are cross-beamed in the library and kitchen and beautifully detailed in the spacious dining room. The kitchen is open to the family room and has a circular morning room/ breakfast room with French doors, leading out to the wrap around porches overlooking the pool and ponds. The gourmet Kitchen includes two dishwashers, side by side subzero refrigerators plus a wet bar with wine cooler and icemaker, and a wrap around breakfast bar. Hardwood floors are found throughout the home except in the basement, which can be used as a media/gameroom with an extra utility area. The grounds, complete with sprinkler system, are spectacular with a arched bridge over Waller Creek, swimming pool, large pond and a guest house that was original to the property,which are all surrounded by giant oaks. This is truly a piece of history captured in time and preserved for the most discerning buyer.
