Discover the timeless allure of the historic John Donnan home, a distinguished residence nestled on a quiet tree-lined street in the heart of Tarrytown. Set upon a sprawling 0.4789-acre lot, this estate features an elegant main home and a charming guest house. The main home boasts four bedrooms, four and a half baths, three living rooms, two dining areas, a bar and a library that spans over 4,000 square feet. This stately abode offers a harmonious blend of grandeur and comfort. With a legacy steeped in political intrigue and cultural significance, the Donnan House stands as a proud symbol of Austin's rich heritage, offering a truly exceptional living experience for the most discerning buyer.
Originally constructed in 1871, the Donnan House has stood as a prominent venue for entertaining governors, presidential friends, and relatives for over a century. The estate originally graced 1102 Lavaca Street until Texas Attorney General John Hill and his wife Bitsy learned of its imminent demolition. In a remarkable act of preservation, they had the home moved to its current location in 1972. This iconic Greek Revival residence represents a triumph of historical preservation in the face of urban development pressures. Meticulously restored, the house retains its original charm while seamlessly integrating modern amenities for contemporary living.
