About 1517 W Saint Johns Ave

A large front porch and cheerful entrance provide a welcome greeting at this Central Austin home. Updated without sacrificing its original mid-century soul, this two-story home features three bedrooms, two living rooms, plus a flex room. 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 natural light and expanding your living space even further. The L-shaped kitchen works hard and looks good doing it with a commercial grade stove and stainless appliances, generously-sized granite island, and extra storage hidden in the kitchen columns. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or having a casual meal at the eat-in bar, this home is ready for it. Two light-filled bedrooms with original hardwood floors and a bathroom complete the downstairs, while upstairs offers a private retreat that includes a second living room, flex room for a home office or gym, and serene primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings. Every day is a spa day in the airy and bright bathroom with dual vanity, walk-in shower, and large soaking tub. You’ll feel like a celebrity with your own spacious walk-through dressing room. A generous laundry room completes the second floor. You can watch the kids or pets play in the backyard from the upstairs Juliet balcony or while relaxing on the wood deck that spans the back of the first floor. A rare find in Brentwood, this home includes a detached two-car garage with a generous workshop area that includes its own bathroom, shower, and separate utility sink; it’s even stubbed out for a small kitchen and laundry. This ideal Central Austin location puts you in close proximity to downtown, the Domain, Lamar Blvd, and Burnet Rd. There’s no better location to experience authentic Austin where you can walk to nearby local favorites like Little Deli, Genuine Joe Coffee, Brentwood Park, the Backspace, or Brentwood Elementary.
