Property details
About 1901 Madison Ave
Whether you’re looking to move in, renovate, invest, or tear down and redevelop, this property offers exceptional potential in one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods—Crestview. The owner has not occupied the home in three years, chosen not to update the home to sell as-is, and leaving the next chapter open for your fresh vision. Zoned SF-3-NP with limited trees (no native trees in the interior of the lot), the lot offers flexibility for buyers and builders to create something truly their own and be part of Crestview’s ongoing transformation. The original 1950s cottage sits on a generously sized, interior, level 0.15-acre lot near Burnet Road. It features timeless character including original hardwood floors, corner windows in each bedroom, and a functional open-concept living/dining/kitchen area filled with natural light. Additional highlights include a spacious indoor laundry area, stainless steel appliances, a rolling kitchen island, recessed lighting, and French doors that open to a large back patio. The refrigerator and stackable washer/dryer convey. The backyard is a standout—private, expansive, and ready to be enjoyed as-is or reimagined for entertaining, gardening, or development. With a strong rental history and most recent lease at $2,300/month, the home also presents a solid investment opportunity. Crestview delivers the best of Austin living, with beloved local businesses like Little Deli & Pizzeria, Houndstooth Coffee, and Violet Crown Wine & Coffee just minutes away. Nearby parks, shopping, and excellent schools—including Brentwood Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High—add to the appeal. Commuters enjoy quick access to 183, MoPac, I-35, Downtown, UT, The Domain, and Q2 Stadium. Whether you’re envisioning a charming restoration, a full-scale new build, or a turnkey rental, this property offers location, flexibility, and value in one of Central Austin’s most vibrant communities.
