Even as Austin grows with countless residential and commercial developments moving forward on the East Riverside corridor, a 1957 midcentury dwelling now listed at 5606 Penick Drive is a reminder of Southeast Austin’s prestigious past.
From 1950 to 1984, what’s now known as the Riverside Golf Course was home to the famed Austin Country Club, the stomping grounds of legendary professional golfer Harvey Penick and one of the major social capitals of the midcentury city.
Penick lent his name and design vision to the small Penick Place subdivision directly adjacent to the club and its course, and it’s here on Penick Drive where you’ll find some of Austin’s most impressive and well-preserved midcentury homes.
The 1957 dwelling at 5606 Penick Drive — only the second home built in the subdivision, after Penick’s own personal residence just next door — is now listed by Lucy Sheffield of All City Real Estate, with its well-kept hallmarks of midcentury design prepared to please a new generation of classic architecture aficionados.
Sitting atop a sprawling lot of slightly less than an acre, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom main house also includes a three-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house built on the property in 2012 — which Sheffield notes is less of a “guest house” and more of a “house house” in terms of size.
In true midcentury fashion, the main home is prime for entertaining with three living spaces including a living/dining room, sunroom, and family room — along with a covered patio facing its expansive backyard. You’ll also enjoy walk-on access to the Riverside Golf Course, which despite the country club’s relocation still offers some of the best links in town and plenty of peace and quiet.
Its location is actually part of the reason you’ll find so much growth elsewhere on East Riverside Drive — though it feels notably secluded, downtown is only minutes away.
