2116 Van Buren St, Amarillo, TX 79109

UPDATE: SELLER FINANCING AVAILABLE!
This historic, 100-year-old estate home exudes grace. The masterful beauty of its Classical architecture is balanced with an unapologetically youthful appreciation for fashion and design. While intelligent and dignified, the home possesses a disarming playfulness and charm. Van Buren House provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to run a luxury bed and breakfast or short term rental, offering an exquisite setting for guests and gorgeous backdrop for photos.
This is made evident in the historically sensitive remodel, which marries the glamour of a '20s estate with a contemporary air. Immediately one can see the marriage of old and new, the original details that live in perfect harmony with the more fashion-forward additions. Like a period costume drama with a modern soundtrack, the home’s reimagining was faithful enough to please purists, while still feeling so couture, so cool. A pastel palette adorns walls and custom cabinetry, while treillage-inspired wallpaper and brass fixtures have the air of a fashionable period drama. The home is full of those elegant finishes and selections that truly set a space apart, displaying a level of customization that is seldom experienced. From beautiful cabinet jewelry like cremone bolts to brass mesh screens, and from cocoa-bead coated lighting fixtures to exquisite Oushak rugs, the space exudes personal style. A certain je ne sais quoi, an inexpressible it factor. An inherent class and grace, that cannot be replicated or even fully defined.
From luxurious bedrooms to stately living areas, the home has a certain couture quality. Guests are invited to experience luxury in every detail, from the majestic to the minute, from sweeping balconies to secluded patios. Consider this utterly enchanting home the southern equivalent of Downton Abbey.
The newly built guest apartment is a jewel box of a space, sparkling with glass tile, quartz countertops, and gemstone cabinet pulls. Botanical motifs, velvet bedding, and fur accents give the space a feeling of upscale bohemia. Connecting the two spaces is an expansive garden lot and newly refinished outdoor pavilion—a gorgeous place to entertain guest and host alfresco dinners under the stars (and beneath a lavish light installation that adorns every tree limb). Mature trees and impeccably manicured grounds create an atmosphere of refined tranquility. Every aspect of the estate speaks of history, from the brick-lined streets to the grand columns and white iron gates, tipped with golden brass points.
From the inside out, this estate has been exquisitely reimagined for a current age. Its history has been preserved while its design has been refreshed; the home has been ushered into a new era without losing any of its original beauty and integrity. It has an elegance and decorum that cannot be replicated, a beautiful sense of sophistication and tradition. And yet it is so youthful, fresh, and fashionable. Stepping back, the estate looks like something an artist would have imagined. It has this certain intangible charm that must be experienced to be fully understood; there just isn’t another space like it. A beguiling synthesis of the historic and contemporary, Van Buren House expresses on an architectural plane the values we hold dear: grace, elegance, and welcome.
