1409 Alegria Rd Unit #A, Austin, TX 78757

Modern construction meets one of Central Austin’s most beloved neighborhoods. Thoughtfully designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining, this side-by-side residence offers the privacy of a detached home with the convenience of condo ownership—sharing only a garage wall with its neighboring unit.

Natural light pours through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an open and inviting atmosphere throughout the main living spaces. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home with a center island, quartz countertops, KitchenAid appliances, abundant cabinetry, and seamless access to a covered patio and spacious backyard. Whether hosting friends, playing with pets, or simply enjoying an evening outdoors, the backyard offers room to spread out and unwind, complete with oversized Leuder stone seating areas that expand the home's outdoor living potential.

Built in 2020, the home blends contemporary finishes with a highly functional floor plan designed for today's lifestyle. Thoughtful storage solutions can be found throughout, providing a place for everything without sacrificing style or living space.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings that add volume, character, and an airy feel rarely found in newer construction. The primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with a spacious walk-in shower, double vanity, and generous storage.

Beyond the front door, enjoy a location that places some of Central Austin’s favorite destinations just moments away. Spend weekends at Brentwood Park, walk to nearby schools, grab coffee at The Violet Crown, or meet friends for a slice at Little Deli. The historic Crestview Shopping Center remains a neighborhood gathering place and local favorite, offering the walkability, convenience, and sense of community that continue to make Brentwood one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

Walking into 1409 Alegria Road, Unit A in Violet Crown Heights, you immediately experience what modern Austin living actually means: a 2020 side-by-side residence that functions like a single-family home but operates with the simplicity of condo ownership. The price sits at $789,000, translating to $421 per square foot for 1,872 square feet of space.

The layout unfolds across three levels with purposeful design. Three bedrooms with vaulted ceilings occupy the upper floors, each one feeling larger than its footprint due to the vertical space. The primary suite anchors the home with a walk-in closet, double vanity, and generous shower. A half bath on the main floor handles guest traffic without funneling everyone upstairs.

The kitchen commands the center of daily life. Quartz countertops, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a center island with breakfast bar, and recessed lighting create a workspace that handles real cooking and casual entertaining equally well. Tile and wood flooring flow throughout, with floor-to-ceiling windows pulling light deep into the living spaces. The covered patio extends the footprint for coffee mornings or evening gatherings.

Location anchors everything here. Brentwood Elementary feeds into Lamar Middle School and McCallum High School, all part of Austin ISD. The Brentwood neighborhood itself clusters around Violet Crown Heights, minutes from The Violet Crown coffee shop, Little Deli for lunch, and Brentwood Park for weekend activity. Crestview Shopping Center sits nearby as a walkable option for daily needs. The home's one-car garage handles parking while preserving the open feel of the unit.

This is lock-and-leave Austin luxury stripped of the high-rise pretense. You own nothing but the unit itself; shared walls mean shared maintenance costs but zero exterior responsibility. The 2020 construction means modern systems, efficient climate control, and finishes built to perform, not just photograph. Days on market: 2, suggesting the market recognizes what Brentwood delivers: genuine livability wrapped in one of Central Austin's most established, walkable neighborhoods with real community infrastructure already in place.

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.
