7601 Robalo Rd, Austin, TX 78757

Treasured opportunity in Crestview! Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this 3 bed, 2 bath property offers the ability to maintain a piece of history, remodel to your liking, or build brand new! The property is situated on a huge lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, and features beautiful pecan trees. The backyard has a barbeque pit, (filled in) hot tub, and large workshop with electricity and an AC unit, that could be converted into an office or ADU. Inside, there is ample living/dining space. The huge den features stones from all over the Greenbelt and a mantle from the Civil War. The owner was a master craftsman in brick and stone masonry. He built the beautiful stone wall fireplace in the den and laid the brick for the home, including the exposed brick in the secondary bedroom and the exterior of the home (plus the bbq pit, hot tub, etc). Enjoy the convenience of walking to Black Swan Yoga, Backspace Italian Restaurant, Tacoshack, multiple parks, soccer fields, and baseball diamonds. Right off Anderson Lane, it’s equidistant between downtown and the Domain, with close proximity to UT. Zoned to Brentwood Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High School. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity in a highly sought-after location!

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.
