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.
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.
