Tucked into one of Crestview’s most desirable pockets, 1713 Madison Ave delivers a forward-thinking design that still feels grounded, inviting, and easy to live in. Thoughtful updates and a natural flow create a home that balances modern function with everyday comfort.

At the center of it all, the kitchen is designed to bring people together—anchored by a spacious island with seating for five, abundant storage, and a dedicated pantry. It’s equally suited for casual mornings, weeknight dinners, or hosting friends without feeling crowded.

Recent wood flooring runs throughout, adding warmth and continuity, while the primary suite is quietly positioned at the rear of the home—offering a sense of retreat with vaulted ceilings.

The walk-in closet is everyone's dream with a pass through window to the laundry room!

Major improvements have already been handled, including recent roof shingles and a rebuilt covered patio. While the backyard is intentionally low-maintenance, the extended driveway opens up a unique opportunity—perfect for pickup basketball games, riding bikes, or extra space to gather and play. An oversized two-car garage adds even more flexibility with room for vehicles, storage, or home gym like the current owners ~ also installed is a 220v electric car charger.

All of this, just moments from Crestview favorites like Little Deli and Pizzeria, The Violet Crown, and Fresh Plus Grocery—with close proximity to Brentwood Park and Brentwood Elementary School adding to the everyday convenience and neighborhood feel.

Crestview living at its best—intentional in design, dialed in on updates, and built for how you actually live.

Medium and small trees provide natural shade and privacy without overgrowning the level lot.

Crestview's everyday amenities sit minutes away: Little Deli and Pizzeria on Anderson Lane, The Violet Crown cinema, Fresh Plus Grocery. Brentwood Park and Brentwood Elementary School (part of Austin ISD) anchor the neighborhood's family-friendly character. McCallum High School and Lamar Middle School serve the broader school district.

This is Crestview living for people who know what matters: walkable access, established trees, a home that's already been fixed up, and neighbors who stay put.

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.
