A Storied Gem in the Heart of Austin. Built in 1907 by Commodore E. H. Perry as his first residence in Austin, 1611 West Avenue carries a rich legacy. Years later, Perry constructed his grand estate in the Hancock neighborhood (now the Commodore Perry Estate Hotel,) designating 1611 West Ave as his personal "summer home" within the city. In the early 1940s, the home welcomed a new chapter when Thomas S. Sutherland, a prominent businessman, moved in with his family. Among them was his daughter Liz Carpenter, who would go on to become Lady Bird Johnson's press secretary during President Lyndon B. Johnson's administration. This elegant Victorian now serves as a distinctive office space spread across three levels. The top floor offers sweeping eastern views of the University of Texas and Downtown Austin, while the first and second floors feature spacious rooms adorned with long leaf pine floors and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interiors with natural light. 1611 is located just blocks from the County Courthouse, making it a prime location for legal professionals and businesses alike. Original architectural details such as crown molding, ornate light fixtures, wood-framed windows, and a classic fireplace blend seamlessly with modern amenities, including mini kitchens and bathrooms on each level, carpeted offices, and 11 dedicated parking spaces. Thoughtfully updated for today's professional needs. 1611 West Ave is more than just a workspace"”it's a piece of Austin's history dating back to the early 20th century combining size, early Austin architectural charm, and a story that connects past and present.
