1900 Stamford Lane Austin, TX 78703

Nestled beneath the sprawling branches of heritage oaks, this exquisite 1935 cottage is a living piece of design history. Renowned architect Arthur Andersson bought this 1935 cottage in the 1970s, recognizing the potential to transform it into a place he would live and raise a family. Andersson’s creative vision reimagined this charming home into an inspired sanctuary. Seamlessly blending the grace of the past with modern design, this home is a rare opportunity to own a true architectural gem minutes away from the best of everything Austin has to offer. Inside, the spaces unfold like a well-composed symphony. The patterns, materials, and rhythms of the design have to be experienced to be understood. Light dances through thoughtfully placed windows, bathing each room in a warm, natural glow. Artistic storage and clean lines enhance the flow of the home. Andersson’s signature touches—such as floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in place of traditional walls—invite both beauty and purpose into every square inch. This residence is as efficient as it is beautiful, with thoughtfully designed bedrooms and multiple work-from-home desk and study spaces tucked seamlessly into the design. The flow of the original house to the addition is seamless as it is built around a charming, European style courtyard with legacy oaks that join the living spaces with a long, interflowing library study. Even the original oak floors—repainted and refreshed—speak to a legacy of thoughtful stewardship. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee under the oaks or admiring the interplay of light across the shiplap walls and French soapstone counters, every moment in this home is touched by artistry, and its location makes this home a once-in-a-lifetime property. Once home to sculptor Charles Umlauf and designed for living by one of Austin’s most iconic architects, this property is not just a place to live—it’s a work of art. Buyer of 1900 has first right of refusal to purchase 1806 just next door (in MLS).
