1805 Justin Ln, Austin, TX 78757

We don't see property like this in Midtown very often. A rare opportunity for someone to live in what appears to be an Uber cute original bungalow in Crestview, but is actually a well designed duplex + detached apartment for side income (or 3rd income stream). Main structure is a duplex consisting of a 2/1 front unit (approx 1100 SF) and 1/1 back unit (approx 850 SF). Then a separate 1/1 apart - garage conversion (approx 625 SF) with full kitchen / bath and powered (no central hvac, just window unit) The current owners have lived in the front 2bed / 1bath portion of the duplex. They've made valuable updates from a newer roof, energy efficient windows and recent hvac and duct work (additional improvements include copper supply lines, updated sewer line and electrical panel). Buyers will find beautiful wood floors throughout the main living and bedrooms. The kitchen cabinets were recently painted + a new range in the past 6 months. The blue bath tile maintains original character and this unit has its own laundry room with w/d connections. There is minimal shared wall with the back unit, and side driveway that carries you around to the private entrance . We love many of the MCM features (olive green stove and vent hood), and the luxury vinyl planks compliment the modern look and allows for easy maintenance. This unit also has it's own laundry room and oversized bedroom with built-in work station PLUS sliding glass door for added sunlight and access to the back patio. Then you have the garage which was converted into a 1/1 apartment with a full kitchen / bath and has laminate flooring throughout. Use this as a home office, short / mid term rental or just place another long term tenant. Such a great option for the buyer looking to offset their mortgage, or investor looking for strong rental income in various forms.

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.
