7607 Gault St, Austin, TX 78757

Exceptional price for this home and location. Reach out to listing agent for information regarding a 2-1 buydown for NON-INVESTORS. Ideal for multi-generational living or live/work space. Or live on one side and lease the other. This darling home is a special space—the current configuration of the 825sf one-story main home is a 2/1 (second bedroom was previously used as an office) and a 676sf attached guest house. The 1/1.5 guest house was added in 2008 when other renovations were completed on the home. The spacious bedroom and laundry are upstairs, while kitchen/living/dining are downstairs, along with a half bath and some storage space. The total square footage is 1501sf. With its location in one of central Austin’s most popular neighborhoods, this unique and charming cottage home has so many special features. It has been renovated to improve its energy efficiency in every way; from improved insulation to high rated windows to a comprehensive set of rainwater collection barrels and carefully placed shade trees and native Texas plants. Metrorail is just a quick walk away—get to downtown Austin without sitting in traffic. Hop on your bike and you can be at the neighborhood’s most loved spots--Tacodeli, dip dip dip, Stiles Switch, Little Deli, and Top Notch. Or hang on the porch and chat with all the friendly neighbors!

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.
