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.

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.
