PROPERTY INCLUDES MAIN HOUSE, DETACHED GUEST HOUSE, AND DETACHED OFFICE. Welcome to The Page House at 1702 Pecan Street, an enchanting blend of historic charm and modern sophistication in Bastrop's historic district. Built in 1920 by Senator Paul DeWitt Page, this iconic Prairie-style home is recognized for its distinctive red-brick facade, graceful low gables, and expansive wraparound porch laid with parquet brick. The porch ceilings are painted in haint blue, traditionally used in Southern homes to keep birds and bugs from nesting, adding charm and historical value to the property. The main house boasts three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, complemented by elegant living spaces detailed with pine flooring, cherry trim, and plantation shutters. The kitchen, with its hand-hammered copper vent hood and refined fixtures, serves as a focal point, perfect for casual family meals and large gatherings. Adjacent to the main residence is a fully equipped carriage house featuring one bedroom, bathroom, a living area, kitchen, and laundry—ideal for guests or as a rental opportunity. The property also includes a two-car garage, an air-conditioned workshop, and a private office, enhancing its functionality. A true gem lies in the basement, where an original coal-burning stove has been meticulously restored and now anchors a temperature-controlled wine cellar and tasting room. This unique space recalls the home’s rich history while providing a modern haven for wine enthusiasts. Situated just minutes from vibrant downtown Bastrop and within easy access to Austin, The Page House offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Texas heritage while enjoying the comforts and conveniences of modern living.
