1527 Madison Ave Unit #B, Austin, TX 78757

Welcome to 1527 Madison Avenue #B, where the privacy of a detached home meets the convenience of one of Central Austin's most sought-after neighborhoods. Nestled in the heart of Crestview, this well-maintained condo has been lovingly cared for by its original owner since it was built in 2014 and offers a low-maintenance lifestyle.

Inside, the thoughtfully designed floor plan makes the most of every square foot. Stained concrete flooring anchors the main level, bamboo flooring adds warmth along the staircase, and plush carpet creates inviting bedroom retreats upstairs. Each bedroom features its own private ensuite bathroom and dedicated closet, offering flexibility for guests, roommates, or a dedicated home office.

Outside, beautifully landscaped front and back yards are complemented by a turfed backyard that stays green year-round with minimal maintenance. It's the perfect place to unwind after work, entertain friends, or enjoy your morning coffee. Unlike many detached condos in the area, this home also features its own private driveway with no shared drive, adding both convenience and a true single-family feel.

The location is what makes Crestview one of Austin's most desirable neighborhoods. Enjoy a five-minute walk to neighborhood favorites like Little Deli & Pizzeria and Fresh Plus Grocery, or a quick five-minute drive to the shops and restaurants along Anderson Lane and North Lamar. The University of Texas is approximately 15 minutes away, while Downtown Austin is only about 20 minutes from your front door. The property is zoned to Brentwood Elementary, Lamar Middle School, and McCallum High School.

Homes offering this combination of location, privacy, and condition at this price point are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Crestview. Come experience everything 1527 Madison Avenue #B has to offer.

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.
