Property Overview

This 1963 brick home on Burning Oak Drive sits on nearly seven thousand square feet in South Terrace Addition, presenting an exceptional value proposition at just over $524 per square foot in an increasingly sought Austin neighborhood. The three-bedroom, one-bath layout spans 1,126 square feet across a single level with all bedrooms on the main floor, accommodating diverse household needs. Recent and strategic improvements significantly enhance its appeal: new energy-efficient windows, refreshed interior and exterior paint, replaced hot water lines, and a completely renovated pergola deck completed in 2024. The HVAC system was replaced in 2020, and a metal roof installed in 2013 adds durability and weather resistance.

Inside, the home thoughtfully balances modern convenience with vintage charm, featuring a sprawling utility room and pantry, smart thermostat control, wired Ethernet and surround sound infrastructure, and updated electrical systems. The kitchen includes gas cooking with self-cleaning double ovens, energy-qualified appliances, and a generous layout. An electric fireplace anchors the living area with vaulted ceilings, while laminate and tile flooring provide easy maintenance throughout.

Outside, the level lot showcases mature landscaping with native plants and a spacious shaded yard ideal for outdoor entertaining. An oversized accessory structure with electrical, Wi-Fi, and insulation adds versatility for storage or creative projects. Located near public transit with proximity to Zilker, this South Terrace Addition property qualifies for Austin ISD's Zilker Elementary feeder pattern.
