Property Description

Welcome to 5024 Osage Ave, a beautiful, set-back, porch-front twin home on a tree-lined block in the Cedar Park neighborhood. Lovingly restored over twenty years by a professor of historic preservation, this spacious and expansive property showcases preserved architectural details true to the 1907 era in which it was built, along with modern, practical upgrades and new mechanical systems.The front entrance features an original chestnut door, refinished and fitted with Victorian hardware. The penny-tile vestibule is lined with stained wainscoting and art nouveau wallpaper. Original oak floors run throughout the home, while the living and dining rooms are divided by an original pocket door with beveled glass. The kitchen features a restored farmhouse sink on one side and a dedicated cooking area with upgraded cabinetry and countertops on the other. The pantry/mudroom houses a powder room, additional storage, and laundry. At the rear of the home, the kitchen opens onto a deck overlooking a large, shaded garden area with bushes and perennials. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms, each filled with excellent natural light. Both the primary and rear bedrooms feature bay windows, with the primary bedroom also offering a built-in bench that opens to provide additional storage. The main bathroom, located in the center of the hallway, is lined with subway tile and features earthy glass mosaic floor tile. Throughout the home, warm tones and thoughtful details create a welcoming atmosphere, including Danish, mid-century, and Sputnik-inspired pendant and sconce lighting that enhance the character of the property. This is a home that truly feels like a home-full of original charm, thoughtful updates, and inviting spaces designed for everyday living.
