Property Description
Built in 1906, a few blocks from the French Legation, 1007 E 8th St pairs historic bones with rooms of real volume: a two-story great room under exposed white trusses and clerestory windows, and an entry hall of shiplap, pressed tin and original wood floors. Six bedrooms, five full baths and five fireplaces sit on a 0.228-acre lot screened by mature oaks and bamboo.
The kitchen is set up for cooking and hosting, with black cabinetry, a copper pot rack, double wall ovens and a gas cooktop. It opens to a dining room under a sculpted plaster ceiling and out to shaded decks. The primary bedroom has its own fireplace. Upstairs, a loft suite with skylights, a balcony, an office nook and a jetted-tub bath works as a studio, a retreat or a guest wing.
Below, a separate suite with its own entrance includes a living room, kitchenette, guest suite with fireplace, two bedrooms and a spa bath with a sauna. There's room for family, long visits or a live-work practice, without sharing a front door. A gated carport opens off the alley.
Located in the heart of East Austin's cultural district near Franklin Barbecue, Paperboy, Whole Foods, and some of the city's most vibrant galleries, studios, and restaurants, the property offers walkable access to the neighborhood's dynamic arts and culinary scenes.
Rich in Austin history and creative character, 1007 E 8th Street invites its next owner to live boldly, host beautifully, and shape the next chapter of this iconic property.

ABOUT US
Our Story
From Humble Beginnings to a Nationwide Movement
At simpliHŌM, we know firsthand that real estate is about more than houses — it’s about people, families, and the places they call home. Our journey didn’t begin in a boardroom or with limitless resources. It began with adversity.
Our Founder & CEO, Sean Miku, once found himself on food stamps, without a home, and forced to pick the lock on a water meter just to give his baby girl her first bath. Out of those struggles came a relentless determination to build something better — not only for his own family, but for every agent and client who deserved a simpler, more supportive way to experience real estate.
With just $30,000 and four agents, simpliHŌM was launched in 2018. From those humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a thriving, people-first brokerage spanning multiple states and serving thousands of agents nationwide — all driven by the same mission: Making Real Estate Simple.
Our Mission: Making Real Estate Simple
We believe real estate should be transparent, efficient, and personal. At simpliHŌM, relationships are at the heart of every transaction. Our mission is to remove the unnecessary complexity and stress, creating a seamless experience for clients and empowering agents to thrive.
Innovative Technology Meets Human
"My job is to find and attract mastery-based agents to the office, protect the culture, and make sure everyone is happy! "
