1703 Alcove Ct, Austin, TX 78757

Some homes simply occupy space. This one commands it.

Tucked at the rear of Crestview's only true cul-de-sac, 1703 Alcove delivers what serious buyers spend years searching for: uncompromising quality in an irreplaceable location. At 3,493 square feet with five bedrooms; or four plus a private study; and four full baths, this residence was built for those who understand the difference between a house and a home designed around how life is actually lived.

Designed for Gathering, Built for Living

The heart of this home reveals itself in thoughtful details: a generous butler's pantry flows seamlessly into the kitchen, where high-end built-in appliances meet serious culinary ambition surrounded by a generous living room lined with walls of glass. Upstairs, a sprawling game room with snack bar creates natural separation between entertainment and retreat. The primary suite isn't simply spacious; it's a genuine sanctuary.

Indoor-Outdoor Without Compromise

Step onto the covered back porch and experience no compromises; a heated pool, outdoor fireplace, full outdoor kitchen, and enough yard to actually use. A private patio extends from the downstairs guest suite, while a second-floor balcony off the rear bedroom offers a quiet escape above it all.

The Location That Changes Everything

Crestview delivers what Central Austin buyers crave; access to neighborhood grocers, delis, and restaurants with everything Burnet and Lamar have to offer just moments away. Downtown is a short drive or commuter rail trip. This is established, connected Austin living at its finest.

1703 Alcove is for buyers who recognize that properties of this caliber, in this location, simply don't come available twice.

A newly built 2026 single-family home with 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, a pool, and 3,493 square feet on a 0.2613-acre lot is rare this close to Central Austin, and 1703 Alcove Ct delivers exactly that at $2.20 million, or $630 per square foot. In Brentwood, 1703 Alcove Ct stands out for combining new construction scale with a tucked-away cul-de-sac setting in Austin, TX 78757, where buyers usually have to choose between lot size, location, and modern finish-out.

This is the kind of address that works for real daily life. Five bedrooms and four full baths give you flexibility for guests, office space, or multigenerational living, and the 2-car garage, two fireplaces, and pool add the features buyers consistently ask for in this part of Travis County. The lot is large enough to matter at 0.2613 acres, which changes how the backyard lives and feels. Days on market sit at 39, which tells you buyers are paying attention but also weighing the reality that newer inventory at this price point is limited in Central Austin.

For anyone asking what it is like to live here, the answer starts with access. Burnet Road and North Lamar Boulevard are both close, so everyday errands, coffee runs, and dinner plans stay easy. Crestview Station is nearby for MetroRail access, and you are a short drive from The Domain, Q2 Stadium, and Downtown Austin. In normal traffic patterns, think roughly 10 to 15 minutes to The Domain and about 15 to 20 minutes to Downtown, with quick north-south movement via Burnet, Lamar, and nearby US-183 and Mopac.

The school path is a major part of the value equation. This home is in Austin ISD, assigned to Brentwood Elementary, Lamar (Austin ISD), and McCallum High School. Those are recognizable campuses for buyers focused on central neighborhoods with established school options. McCallum, in particular, is a name that carries weight in this section of Austin. Brentwood Park, Northwest District Park, and the corridor around Burnet Road add more of the neighborhood rhythm that makes 78757 so durable over time.

At a basic level, this is a Residential - Single Family Residence in a proven central location. At a higher level, it is a chance to own newer construction in Brentwood with space, privacy, and strong city access, which is exactly the mix that tends to hold attention and value well into the future.

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.
