815 Stark Street, Austin, TX 78756 | The Best-Valued Pool Home in Central Austin

If you’ve been searching for a pool home in Central Austin without paying luxury prices or HOA fees, 815 Stark Street in Brentwood deserves your full attention. Listed at $550,000, this is the best-valued Central Austin home with an in-ground pool currently on the market — and it’s in one of Austin’s most established and walkable neighborhoods.

A 1950 Brentwood Bungalow with Real Character

Built in 1950, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath single-family home carries the kind of warmth and character that newer construction rarely replicates. Warm wood floors, natural light throughout the main living area, and an open floorplan that makes the 1,100 square feet feel easy and connected. There are no interior steps, ceiling fans in every room, and a layout that brings people together naturally.

815 Stark Street Austin Living Room

The kitchen anchors the home with granite counters, a center island, dedicated dining area, gas range, dishwasher, disposal, and a setup that’s ready to use from day one. Interior laundry with stacked washer and dryer hookups, recessed lighting, built-in features, and window treatments round out a home that’s been well-loved and cared for over time.

The Backyard Is the Reason People Fall in Love with This House

Step outside and the home shifts into a different gear entirely. The in-ground pool sits at the center of a private, fenced backyard on a 0.14-acre lot with mature trees, intentional landscaping, and real shade. A covered back deck creates the perfect transition from inside to out. An outdoor shower — the kind of detail that makes an Austin summer feel like it was designed for you — completes the picture.

No HOA means no restrictions on how you use or enjoy the space. This backyard has hosted a lot of fun, and it’s built to host a lot more.

Location: The Heart of Brentwood

815 Stark Street sits in Brentwood, one of Central Austin’s most loved neighborhoods — tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community, and neighbors who actually know each other. You’re steps from Little Deli and Bird Bird Biscuit, a short drive to Burnet Road’s coffee shops and restaurants, and minutes from downtown Austin, the University of Texas, and the Domain.

The home sits at 78756, one of Austin’s most sought-after zip codes for buyers who want to be close to everything without sacrificing neighborhood feel.
