1913 Piedmont Ave, Austin, TX 78757

1913 Piedmont has been completely remodeled and reimagined for modern lifestyles! Located in the heart of 78757, one of Austin’s most desirable zip codes, you are minutes away from parks, restaurants, shopping, schools, and other amenities. The original 1955 home was gutted and completely remodeled in 2020. In 2021, an owners’ suite and extra bedroom were added and the single-car garage was enclosed to bring the home up to 1604 sq ft. All components of the original house other than the foundation and framing have been replaced: roof, siding, insulation, windows, plumbing (including subsurface lines), electrical, HVAC, flooring, fixtures, and all interior finishes. The new floor plan includes separate living and dining areas, three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The kitchen features walnut cabinetry, quartz counters, tile backsplash, and custom wall cabinets. Adjacent to the kitchen is a combination pantry & laundry room with an additional storage room, perfect for gear, including bikes. The owners’ suite has a fully outfitted walk-in closet with custom built-in drawers. The owners’ bathroom has dual vanities with a walk-in shower and water closet. All rooms other than bathrooms feature white oak wood flooring. Don’t miss the custom wall and mudroom-style storage and coat hooks in the hallway! Outside there’s a sizable rear yard with a full privacy fence, storage building, new ground-level deck, and covered patio for entertaining. The front yard is also fenced with open-wire fencing. In-ground irrigation and custom metal planter boxes will appeal to gardeners and weekend landscape designers. No detail has been overlooked!

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.
