Nestled among majestic oak trees in Austin’s vibrant Crestview neighborhood, this home was built in 1955 and is full of mid-century charm and character.  With its welcoming front porch, large picture window, and crisp white paint,  you can feel the soul and personality before even stepping foot inside.  The original oak floors shine underfoot, the colorful tile in the primary bathroom sparks nostalgia, and there's even a quaint telephone nook in the hall.  This bungalow holds a story and is all the more beautiful for it.

A spacious living room greets you right from the door.  From cozy mornings with coffee to movie night, this warm, welcoming space is ready for anything.  An oversized picture window overlooks the live oak trees in the front yard.  A second window on the adjoining wall ensures the room is bathed in beautiful natural light.  The original hardwood oak floors are well maintained and add beautiful dimension.  As shown in the virtual staging below, this room has plenty of space and a flexible layout that awaits your personal touch.

At the heart of the home you’ll find a sizable kitchen with thoughtful work zones to meet all of your needs.  The bar is ideal for casual meals or serving food buffet-style.  Built-in desks along one wall create a sensible spot to work from home or pay bills, and expansive counter space means you have plenty of room for meal prep.  The original knotty pine cabinets stretch all the way to the ceiling so that you have plenty of space for storage, while the skylight overhead and window above the sink keep the kitchen light. A painted brick accent wall adds additional character.  The kitchen is full of potential. 

On the other side of the kitchen you'll find a second living space where an impressive painted brick fireplace serves as the focal point.  Tall ceilings and bamboo floors enhance the light and airy feel of this casual and comfortable room. The open flow between the kitchen and informal living room offers the flexibility for entertaining large groups or hosting small get togethers with your loved ones.  A sliding glass door opens to the back patio so that you can easily take your gatherings outside.   

This informal living area also has a work side too.  The walk-in laundry room is accessible here, and there's a drop zone by the back door that would make a perfect mud room with the addition of a bench and some wall hooks.   

Take your pick of the three bedrooms accessible from both the front and back side of the bungalow.  The front bedroom offers beautiful  natural light with windows that wrap around the corner.  This room has a pretty view of the front yard.  

Tucked away at the back of the house, you’ll find another bedroom that overlooks the back yard. With windows on two walls, this room has beautiful sunlight.  This carpeted bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet, which you won't find in many homes from this time period.   

Nestled between the two bedrooms is a versatile third bedroom.  A window brings in natural light and two closets provide plenty of space for storage. While it has all the features of a bedroom, this room could also function as a guest room, home office (as shown in the virtual staging below), or a workout space.   

Two full baths are found on opposite sides of the home.  The colorful bathroom tile adds a touch of fun and speaks to the home's mid-century roots.  The primary bathroom is situated in the main hallway.  It features a vanity with storage, a bath/shower combo and bathroom closet for linens and toiletries.  The secondary bathroom is located at the back of the home near the kitchen and informal living room.  It is outfitted with a shower, pedestal sink, and linen closet.   

You'll love the expansive and private backyard with established grass and mature trees.  Just add an outdoor dining set or lounge furniture to the covered patio, and you’ll have a great spot to sip your morning coffee or dine al fresco.  The shed tucked away in the corner offers additional storage.  There's room for pets to run, garden beds to be built, and so much more.

Indeed, the home is situated on a large lot for the area, so there's also space to add covered parking or even a detached garage.  An extra-long driveway creates plenty of off-street parking too.  This bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a true single-family home on a substantial piece of land for the price that many are paying for condos and townhomes without the same space.  

Not only is this home rich in mid-century heritage, it's situated in the vibrant Crestview neighborhood.  Nestled between Burnet Road and North Lamar, this home is convenient to many Central Austin hot spots.  With various restaurants, coffee shops, and retailers nearby, it’s all within reach. 

You’ll love taking a stroll to the Violet Crown Clubhouse or Brentwood Social House for coffee or packing a picnic to enjoy under the trees at Brentwood Park.  Spend an evening at Yard Bar with your four-legged friend or grab take out from Taco Deli. With many locally owned gems nearby -- like Barley Swine and Bufalina Due -- this neighborhood has a true sense of community.  

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