Listed on Nation Register of Historic Places. Built in 1906 for Austin Chief of Police William Morris, purchased and occupied by the Lung family from 1917 - 1960. The Lungs were one of the first Chinese families to settle in Austin and ran restaurants here for 60 yrs. The house retains a high degree of historic integrity, including oak floors and staircase, longleaf pine floors in the 2nd floor bedrooms, door hardware, fireplace, mantle & windows. Modern interventions include standing seam roof, updated electrical service, water and gas lines. 21 inches of top soil was removed, replaced with organic soil and re-graded for proper drainage. Attic access and insulation were improved. The oversized lot features a large equipment barn, chicken coop and alley access. The kitchen has tung oil sealed slate counters and quartzite flooring. Just 5 blocks to both Lake and CBD. House has some siding damage and no HVAC. Extremely rare opportunity in Central Austin.
