1311 Justin Ln Unit #A, Austin, TX 78757

Set on a tree-lined street in Crestview, this two-story home is designed for the way you actually live, with room to host, space to work, and a neighborhood that makes it easy to get out the door. A covered front porch overlooks a fully fenced, landscaped yard shaded by mature trees, the kind of spot where mornings start with coffee and evenings end with friends. Inside, wood flooring, high ceilings, and recessed lighting carry through an open living and dining space filled with natural light. The kitchen sits at the center of it all, with Bosch stainless appliances, a gas cooktop beneath a stainless hood, built-in oven and microwave, granite counters, soft gray shaker cabinetry, and subway tile. Pull up a stool at the island for weeknight dinners, or let guests gather while you cook, with a large window over the sink framing the trees outside. A main-level bedroom and full bath give overnight guests their own space and work just as well as a home office or gym. Upstairs, the primary suite is a quiet retreat with treetop views, a walk-in closet, and a bath with double vanity and frameless glass shower. The second upstairs bedroom has its own en-suite with a walk-in shower, so everyone gets privacy. A dedicated laundry room and attached two-car garage keep daily routines simple. Life here happens on foot: walk to Brentwood Park for the pool, tennis courts, and trails, grab a slice at Little Deli & Pizzeria, pick up groceries at Fresh Plus, or meet friends at Violet Crown Wine & Coffee. Zoned to Brentwood Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High, with Crestview Station nearby and quick access to Burnet Road, The Domain, and Downtown.

Brentwood is one of Austin's original mid-century neighborhoods - built mostly between 1948 and 1955 when the city was expanding north of campus. The bones are good: 1,200-1,800 sqft brick and stone ranch homes on 7,500-10,000 sqft lots, mature pecan and oak trees, and a street grid that connects to everywhere without a single cul-de-sac.

The 78757 zip puts you 10 minutes from downtown via Lamar, 8 minutes from the Domain, and walking distance to Burnet Road - which has become one of Austin's best food corridors. Foreign & Domestic, Lala's Little Nugget, Top Notch Hamburgers, Tacodeli, and Soup Peddler are all within a mile. The Crown & Anchor on Burnet still serves the same burgers it did in 1980.

Original ranch homes start around $700K. Renovated and expanded properties run $1.1M-$1.6M. Tear-down and rebuild has accelerated over the past five years - new construction in the $1.8M-$2.5M range now mixes with the originals. The Brentwood Park area near Justin Lane holds value especially well.

Schools are Austin ISD: Brentwood Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High School - which feeds the Fine Arts Academy. Brentwood Park itself has tennis courts, a swimming pool, and the historic Brentwood Park Pool that families have used since the 1950s.

What makes Brentwood different from the bigger-name North Austin neighborhoods: it's still mostly its original housing stock. You can buy a real 1950s house with the post-war floor plan intact, then decide what to do with it. The neighborhood association is active, the streets are quiet, and the trees are tall enough to actually shade the sidewalks.

Best for buyers who want a true urban neighborhood with mid-century character, walkable food and coffee, and the McCallum Fine Arts Academy zoning.
