1005 W Saint Johns Ave, Austin, TX 78757

The owners had an eye for detail, design and how people truly live when they remodeled this mid-century home in Crestview, as evidenced by the clean lines, copious storage, combination of warm original wood flooring and cool contemporary concrete, wood-framed windows, butterfly roof allowing for vaulted ceilings, and huge rainwater collection tank. What amazing remodel and comfortable one-story home on a corner lot. With an office in addition to the three bedrooms and a shed for storage outside, plenty of room here for you and your stuff. Mature landscaping and large trees provide a lovely and shaded setting for spending time outside. PRE-INSPECTED! Sellers have completed, but not yet recorded, all paperwork to create a “two unit condo” and the condo docs will be recorded and go into effect simultaneous with closing. Condo docs available to review - all references to "Common Areas" will be removed so there are NO common areas. Carport is all yours!

Crestview was Austin's post-war boom neighborhood - built in the early 1950s when GIs came home and needed houses fast. The result is one of the most cohesive mid-century neighborhoods in the city: 1,000-1,500 sqft ranch homes on 6,500-8,500 sqft lots, broad streets, and a layout that predates the cul-de-sac era.

The 78757 zip and the MetroRail station are what set Crestview apart from neighboring Brentwood and Allandale. The Crestview MetroRail stop runs to downtown in 12 minutes and to Leander in 30. Combined with the Lamar/Burnet bus corridor and the bike lanes on Justin Lane, you can live in Crestview without driving most days. That's rare for North Austin.

Original ranches start around $675K. Updated homes with kitchens, baths, and HVAC modernized run $950K-$1.3M. New builds and major renovations push $1.6M-$2.2M. The teardown rate has accelerated since 2020 but the neighborhood association has been active in protecting the streetscape.

Burnet Road is the food and shopping spine: Little Deli & Pizzeria, Texas French Bread, Phoebe's Diner, Yard Bar (with the dog park), and the long-standing Top Notch Hamburgers all sit within a mile. Lamar runs north to the Domain and south to downtown.

Schools serve Austin ISD: Brentwood Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High School with its Fine Arts Academy program. The Brentwood Park pool and tennis courts are shared with neighboring Brentwood. Wooldridge Square sits at the southern edge.

Best for buyers who want walkable urbanism, transit access, McCallum zoning, and an original 1950s house they can renovate or rebuild.
