Special offer

The heart of Crestview ~ 1515 Madison Ave Austin TX 78757

By
Real Estate Agent with Juice RE Group at Compass Lic# 491811

Uber hip, yet very classic in the heart of Crestview.  Original in many respects, yet favorably updated inside when a kitchen wall was removed during rennovations and the one bath was gutted.  The current owners maximized the relaxing front porch so they could enjoy the kids playing in the enclosed front yard.

Inside, a spacious layout leaves all the possiblities for decorating.  Beautiful dark stained wood floors sprawl throughout the home and freshly painted white walls enhance the wealth of natural light coming into the home (notably via large picture window in main living space).  Spot lighting was installed to showcase the sellers art collection at the entry, and a wall of storage lines the living room and kitchen. Surely an organizers dream come true when committing to living in smaller spaces.  

The remodeled kitchen boasts bright natural light via a steel framed window, with direct views to the backyard.  Instead of the once closed off and compact kitchen, buyers will find two serving bartops, ample counter space, updated stainless appliances and views into living space.  This restored gas range unfortunately did not convey with the property.  It is original to the owner's family, restored by them and will transfer to their new home.  However, a credit will be offered to the new buyers so they can purchase a matching new range.

Staying true to the period, the remodeled bath sports penny tile floors and subway tile tub surround. A large vanity mirror was installed, along with wall mounted sink. Don't overlook the hall linen closet for towels and personals.

Grilling out for the night?  Enjoy the relaxing back porch with pass through window from the kitchen in case you left something inside.  While touring the backyard, make note the rear of the garage was converted to a small yoga studio. Could be a home office?  Craft room?  You decide!

Location could not be more ideal with the Crestview Shopping Center right around the corner (IGA Grocery Store, Barber Shop and famous Little Deli).  Current owners enjoy an easy stroll to Brentwood Neighborhood Park and Thunderbird Coffee at 2222 and Woodrow.  Icing on the cake ~ You are within minutes of  Top Notch Burgers, Taco Flats, Pint House Pizza & Fork and Taco.  Don't miss out on this beautiful Crestview home!

Hi John - Dorie Dillard's  reblog brought me here today.  Great description.  I like how you share that the home boasts original features yet has been favorably updated and then "tell" what has been done.  

Here's hoping this Crestview home receives lots of attention and most importantly, an offer the seller can accept and can successfully close.

Thank you all.  Dorie and Gene are amazing mentors to myself, as well as HH and BB!  This home went pending in the first 72hrs on the market and moving quickly towards closing.

This will be a nice home for a lucky family.

Home buyers are anxious to take advantage of the very low mortgage interest rates.
