ABOUT
Nestled along one of Old Enfield’s most storied streets, the Fred and Margaret Sharp House is a distinguished 1947 Colonial Revival, originally designed by acclaimed Austin firm Giesecke, Kuehne, and Brooks. Set on .71 acres in one of the city’s most established neighborhoods, this five-bedroom estate blends architectural pedigree with thoughtful modernization. From the moment you arrive, the home’s historic presence is unmistakable—an enduring testament to a time when craftsmanship and detail were paramount.
The interiors unfold with a sense of ceremony and grace. A grand entry introduces a sweeping staircase, checkered floors, mirrored walls, and an opulent chandelier, immediately setting an elevated tone. Throughout the residence, ornate plasterwork, including sculptural decorative ceilings with European-inspired detailing, anchors the home’s timeless elegance. Designed by Joel Mozersky, the interiors strike a refined balance between classic formality and modern comfort, while the fully upgraded kitchen features sleek cabinetry and stainless steel appliances seamlessly integrated into the home’s historic framework. Exquisite hand-painted wall coverings by DeGournay in the living and dining room were installed by German Master Peter Hausmann.
Beyond the main house, the grounds reveal a private retreat rarely found so close to downtown. The expansive backyard hosts a resort-style pool, a gym with a full bathroom, and a guest apartment above the garage offering a complete one-bedroom residence with a living area and kitchen. A screened porch designed by Clair Zinneker extends the living experience outdoors, honoring Margaret Sharp’s legacy as a celebrated gardener and civic leader. With 5 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half bathrooms total, this exceptional property offers a rare convergence of history, design, and livability in the heart of Old Enfield.
