Property Description
While the charm remains intact, many of the major improvements have already been completed, including new double-pane windows, a new HVAC system (2024), and roof shingles replaced in 2024, giving buyers the confidence of modern efficiency while preserving the home's authentic character.
The floorplan feels remarkably comfortable, with well-proportioned rooms that live larger than expected. Natural light fills the living spaces before flowing into a cheerful dining nook with built-in bench seating, open shelving, and French doors opening to a versatile sunroom—ideal as a home office, reading room, or creative retreat.
Outside, mature trees shade an oversized backyard with plenty of room to entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the quiet that makes Brentwood so beloved.
Just two blocks from Burnet Road's restaurants, neighborhood coffee shops, and local favorites, with Brentwood Park and Brentwood Elementary just around the corner, this location puts the very best of Central Austin within easy reach.
Homes like this have become increasingly rare—not because they're old, but because so few have managed to preserve their original character while making the updates that matter most. Some homes are memorable because they're flashy. Others are memorable because they simply feel right. This is one of those homes.
