A cheerful entrance provides a welcome greeting at this Central Austin home where you can sit and get to know your neighbors from your comfortable front porch.  With three bedrooms, two living rooms, a bonus room, and a two-car garage with workshop space, this two-story home honors its mid-century roots while also offering an expanded floor plan and modern amenities.  You’ll love the hardwood floors, bright interior, and the unbeatable central location near coffee shops, restaurants, and parks. 

The downstairs is anchored by a spacious great room where everyone can come together for lounging, meal prep, and dining.  Double-glass doors open to the back deck, bathing the living area in soft, natural light and expanding your living space even further. Thoughtfully designed with distinct zones while still allowing for an easy flow between activities, this communal space is ready for your every day moments and special celebrations alike. 

Punctuated with new pendant lights, the fully renovated kitchen works hard and looks good doing it. Warm wood cabinets are tempered with black granite counters, a commercial grade stove, and stainless steel appliances.  Ample cabinets and extra storage hidden in the kitchen columns ensures you have space for all the kitchen gadgets you desire.  And we’re betting your friends will be secretly jealous of the oversized granite island with eat-in bar – so much space!    

The great room also includes a dedicated dining area which offers the flexibility for entertaining large groups or hosting small get togethers.  Whether you’re enjoying a casual meal, overseeing homework, or hosting Zoom calls, this space easily adapts to your needs.

Tucked on the other side of the great room you will find two light-filled bedrooms that still have their beautiful original hardwood floors.  These secondary bedrooms share a hall bathroom with a combination shower/tub. 

The second floor is your own private relaxation space.  Light some candles and turn on some music, or throw open the doors to the Juliet balcony and let nature be your soundtrack. Anything goes in this owners’ retreat featuring a second living room and flex room, along with the primary bedroom and bathroom. 

Not only is there a living room to enjoy, this floor includes a flex room that adjoins the primary bedroom through French doors.  With windows on two sides, peaked ceilings, and a small balcony, this bonus room gets wonderful natural light.  The only question is whether you’ll make it your office, home gym, or art studio.

Accessible through either the living room or the bonus room, the primary bedroom is a soothing sanctuary.  Vaulted ceilings and windows on two sides make it feel like you’re resting in the clouds.  And when you want to feel like a celebrity, just step into the your own spacious dressing room.  Adjoining the primary bedroom, the walk-through dressing room is outfitted with built-in drawers, rods, and shelves.  A pass-through to the generously-sized laundry room makes laundry day a breeze. 

The en suite primary bathroom turns getting ready into a spa-like experience with an expansive vanity with dual sinks, walk-in shower, and soothing neutral tile with ocean-colored accents. Why not treat yourself to a relaxing soak in the roomy garden tub? 

The grassy backyard comes with a playscape.  Enclosed with fencing and shaded by large trees, there's room for the pets to run, flowers to be planted, and so much more. You can watch the kids or pets play while relaxing on the wood deck that spans the back of the first floor or oversee the fun from the upstairs balcony. 

A rare find in Brentwood, this home includes a detached two-car garage with a generous workshop area that has its own bathroom, shower, and separate utility sink; it’s even stubbed out for a small kitchen and laundry.  An extra-long driveway provides additional off-street parking.

Not only is this home rich in mid-century heritage, it's convenient to many Central Austin restaurants, coffee shops, and retailers.  You’ll love taking a stroll to the Violet Crown for coffee, packing a picnic to enjoy under the trees at Brentwood Park, or grabbing a pizza at Little Deli. Spend an evening at Yard Bar with your four-legged friend or grab take out from Bird Bird Biscuit or Taco Deli. With many locally owned gems nearby -- like Barley Swine and Bufalina Due -- this neighborhood has a true sense of community and that authentic Austin vibe.

Plus, with great access to Loop 1, Lamar Boulevard, Burnet Road, and Highway 183, you’re just minutes away from downtown, the Domain, or the Arboretum.  But just how convenient is the location?
