Property Overview

This Shoal Crest home on W 39th Street showcases the architectural character and walkable lifestyle that define central Austin, blending Queen Anne-inspired details with modern Craftsman sensibility. Built in 1994, the 2,752-square-foot residence avoids the maintenance pitfalls of truly vintage properties while delivering the charm buyers seek in this established neighborhood near Central Market, Shoal Creek Hike & Bike Trail, and Burnet Road's dining scene. The four-bedroom, four-bath layout prioritizes both comfort and convenience, featuring a main-level primary suite with two walk-in closets, upstairs secondary bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and flexible living and dining spaces throughout.

Thoughtful design extends to the home's practical features: coffered ceilings and stone fireplace add visual warmth, while the gated entry and two-car rear-facing garage provide privacy and security on this nearly seven-thousand-square-foot lot. The property sits priced at twenty percent below area median per square foot, offering genuine value for buyers seeking central location without the premium tag. Close proximity to MoPac and downtown Austin, combined with the neighborhood's mix of mid-century and modern architecture, makes this W 39th Street residence an exceptional find for those prioritizing walkability and accessibility in one of Austin TX's most desirable in-town communities.

Vox Real Estate Insight

Shoal Crest offers that rare combination of established neighborhood character and genuine central Austin convenience, and this property captures both while remaining competitively priced in a market where mid-century charm typically commands a premium. At Vox Real Estate, we see strong demand from buyers who recognize that well-maintained 1990s construction delivers the aesthetic appeal of older neighborhoods without the hidden repair costs that often accompany truly vintage homes.

Agent Description

Central Austin living at its best—walkable and bikeable, with convenient access to public transit, and Austin’s north-south corridors with Mopac minutes away. This thoughtfully designed four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home blends quintessential Rosedale charm with modern functionality without sacrificing character. A touch of Queen Anne influence gives the facade distinctive architectural appeal, while the home captures the warmth of a modern Craftsman without the outdated systems, awkward floor plan, or maintenance concerns often associated with an older property. The layout balances privacy and functionality, with the primary suite on the main level and two of the three upstairs bedrooms offering direct bathroom access. Gated entry, shared alley access, a two-car garage, and a circular driveway provide added convenience and separation from the street. Residents may also obtain four additional parking permits to park along the residential side of the street, although the current owner has never needed them. Ideally positioned and zoned to highly sought-after schools, the home offers exceptional access to neighborhood restaurants, shops, fitness studios, parks, and everyday conveniences. Imagine enjoying morning coffee on the front porch before walking to an exercise class, stepping away from your home office for lunch nearby, or reaching destinations throughout Austin without relying on I-35. Here, connectivity and convenience become part of daily life rather than an occasional luxury.
