Axtman Properties' latest home blends sophisticated design with bright & airy spaces! Designed by award-winning Murray Legge Architecture, this modern home is laid out to showcase the pool with dramatic windows overlooking it from much of the home. As you pull up to the home, the wrap-around porch with steel columns and burnished gray stucco signals this home is special. A beautiful heritage live oak shades most of the front yard. The home’s main entry is tucked away from the street, and there’s a private office/study smartly separated from the rest of the home at the entry foyer. Entering the main living area, a wall of windows dramatically frames the pool. The living & dining areas are connected to the open kitchen in a single volume with high ceilings. Custom walnut cabinetry accents the dining area. The kitchen invites gathering with bar seating and clear sightlines to the rest of the living area. Kitchen appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator with matching cabinet panels. There’s a 36” Wolf 6-burner range, Asko dishwasher, Sharp microwave, and possibly best of all: A Scotsman nugget ice maker. There will never be an ice shortage at the pool! Downstairs is a guest suite with full bath, walk-in closet, and separate outside entry. The upstairs owner’s suite is separated from the secondary bedrooms by the stairwell. The owner’s bathroom includes a floating natural oak vanity with dual lavatories and elegant floor-to-ceiling tile. Both upstairs secondary bedrooms feature dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. The exterior windows are commercial-grade RAM aluminum, and the front & pool entries are high-performance Western doors with multi-point locks. Outside, the rear deck is shaded by a generous awning for respite from the sun while sitting poolside. The pool includes a waterfall and thoughtful upgrades such as a self-cleaning system and ozone-generator to reduce chlorine use. The rear yard is fully fenced, and the front and rear yards have in-ground irrigation.

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.
