*Bundled service pricing available for buyers. Connect with the listing agent for details* Redesigned for Age-in-Place! 2 Master Suites. Set in one of Central Austin’s most desirable pockets, this beautifully remodeled home raises the bar for everyday living. From the layout to the finishes, every detail has been thoughtfully executed to create spaces that feel refined, welcoming, and exceptionally livable. At the heart of the home is a standout kitchen designed for both daily life and entertaining. Custom NXT cabinetry offers deep drawers, hidden pull-outs, vertical storage, and dual walk-in pantries, all anchored by a solid oak island. High-performance appliances include a GE Cafe dual-fuel range, GE Cafe French-door oven, Samsung smart refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher, and a sleek microwave drawer. Solatube daylighting, full-spectrum Philips Hue lighting, and Aerial Quartz countertops. Living and dining areas feel expansive yet grounded, unified by original oak flooring that runs seamlessly throughout with no interior thresholds. Double sliding glass doors open to the outdoor deck, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection ideal for entertaining. Smart lighting throughout allows the ambiance to shift easily from day to night. Two private primary suites offer flexibility and comfort, each with walk-in closets and spa-inspired bathrooms featuring Villeroy & Boch vanities, adjustable shower systems, and in-ceiling heat and lighting. Two additional bedrooms provide space for guests, home offices, or creative use. Outdoor living is equally well considered, with an Azek capped-polymer deck, steel railing, extendable lighted awning, natural gas grill connection, and layered exterior lighting for year-round enjoyment. Belgard permeable pavers provide off-street parking, while a retaining wall and undercroft lighting enhance curb appeal. The home is fully modernized with Anlin windows, a tankless water heater, new HVAC system, electrical panels, & Tesla charger.

A 0.2716-acre lot in Central Austin is the first fact that matters here, and 809 E 38th St makes that land count in Austin with a remodeled 4-bedroom, 3-bath plan and a 2-car garage. At $1.05M, or $595 per square foot, the property sits in Austin ISD and feeds to Allison, Kealing, and McCallum, which keeps the school path as clear as the location.

The house was built in 1953 and now reads as an older Central Austin home that has been reworked for how people actually live. At 1,765 square feet, the layout is not chasing excess size. It is using space efficiently, with two primary suites that create real flexibility for long-term ownership, guests, or multigenerational needs. The age-in-place approach is not a tagline here. It shows up in practical decisions such as the threshold-free interior flow, updated baths, and the way the core living areas connect directly to the outdoor deck.

The kitchen is the strongest example of that thinking. Custom NXT cabinetry, dual walk-in pantries, a solid oak island, quartz counters, and a serious appliance package point to function first, with enough storage and work surface to support everyday use as much as entertaining. Original oak floors keep continuity through the main living spaces, while daylighting, smart lighting, and full modern system upgrades bring the house forward without losing the structure that gives a 1950s home its staying power. Anlin windows, a tankless water heater, new HVAC, updated electrical panels, and a Tesla charger are the kinds of improvements that matter because they reduce deferred maintenance and improve day-to-day performance.

Outside, the improvements are just as deliberate. The capped-polymer deck, steel railing, extendable awning, natural gas grill connection, permeable pavers, retaining wall, and layered exterior lighting show a property designed to be used, not just presented. With 36 days on market, the value case is straightforward: a remodeled single family home in 78705 with meaningful land, a flexible floor plan, an established Austin ISD track, and system upgrades that support ownership across changing needs. That combination gives this property relevance now and a durable position over time.
