1805 Redlands St, Austin, TX 78757

Rebuilt from the studs up in the heart of Brentwood! This 3 bed, 2 bath home with a 2-car garage underwent a permitted, down-to-the-studs renovation completed in 2023, designed by architect Julia Cook Webber and built by Adams Company. Every wall, pipe, wire, fixture and floor was replaced.

The big-ticket items are done: whole-house repipe including under-slab drain lines replaced by tunneling (with engineer’s letter), new 200-amp electrical service wired for the EV charger in the garage, new 3-ton HVAC with all-new ductwork, spray foam insulation at the roofline, and new water heater. Since then: Pella windows (2024), a standing seam metal roof with all-new decking and a 45-year transferable metal warranty (2025), a new 6' privacy fence (2025), and new sod, landscaping and a full irrigation system (2026).

Inside, an open kitchen features custom cabinetry with an appliance garage, stone countertops, an induction cooktop, double wall oven and counter-depth refrigerator. Both baths were fully rebuilt, including a walk-in tile shower with frameless glass in the primary. A new insulated garage door, keypad entry and LED lighting round it out. See the improvements list in MLS Documents for full details.

Enjoy a 7,791 sq ft lot just steps from Brentwood Neighborhood Park and its community pool. Burnet Road and North Lamar are moments away with favorites like Barley Swine, Bufalina Due, Lick Honest Ice Creams, Tacodeli and Top Notch, plus the Burnet Road H-E-B and Violet Crown Shopping Center. Crestview MetroRail Station is nearby, The Domain is about 10 minutes north and downtown Austin is about 15 minutes south. Zoned to Brentwood Elementary, Lamar Middle and McCallum High (Austin ISD); buyer to verify.

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.
