Zoned to highly rated Brentwood Elementary (9/10).

The private backyard pool at 1506 W Saint Johns Ave in Crestview transforms everyday living into a permanent vacation experience. This 2,577-square-foot modern farmhouse, built in 2016 by Carty Custom Builders, was designed around the principle that home should feel like a five-star resort where you never need to leave.

The indoor-outdoor connection anchors the entire property. From the open-concept kitchen and living area, you step directly into a private yard shaded by mature trees exceeding 40 feet, where the heated pool becomes your personal water oasis. The patio and awning create multiple lounging zones that blur the line between inside and outside living. Natural light floods through the home via recessed lighting design and strategically placed windows, creating warmth without the glare.

Inside, the floor plan delivers three separate living spaces plus a dedicated study or home office, giving you flexibility for work, guests, or pure relaxation. The primary suite functions as your private sanctuary with a spa-like bath, dual vanities, and two walk-in closets. A walk-in pantry and dedicated utility room handle the logistics so you focus on leisure. Custom built-ins and Hunter Douglas shades add refined touches that feel intentional rather than overdone.

Comfort extends to performance. Solar panels, a Tesla Powerwall backup battery system, a standing-seam metal roof, and oversized gutters mean the home runs efficiently while you enjoy it. At $601 per square foot, the pricing reflects both the modern construction quality and the rare combination of amenities in this location.

The neighborhood positioning matters. You're walking distance to Violet Crown Wine Bar on Anderson Lane and Fresh Plus Grocery, yet inside a quiet interior lot in Crestview. The Austin ISD zoning brings Brentwood Elementary (rated 9/10), Lamar Middle School, and McCallum High School into your family equation. West Saint Johns Avenue sits minutes from Downtown Austin via the MoPac Expressway corridor.

Zero days on market signals what informed buyers already know: homes with pool resort amenities, smart energy systems, and this floor plan configuration don't wait in Crestview. This is where the lifestyle premium justifies itself.

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.
