Property Overview

This 1955 mid-century home in Brentwood sits on a generously landscaped quarter-acre lot with a detached guest house that transforms this property into a rare dual-income or multi-generational opportunity. The main residence spans 1,467 square feet across four bedrooms and two bathrooms, featuring updated quartz counters, a kitchen island, screened rear porch, and wood-burning fireplace that captures the era's authentic charm. A separate 723 square foot guest house, successfully rented for two decades, provides immediate rental income or flexible living space—combining both structures yields 2,190 total square feet of thoughtfully maintained living area.

Located on Alegria Road in the heart of Brentwood, this property positions residents steps from the neighborhood's celebrated dining scene along Burnet Road and within the Austin ISD attendance zone for Brentwood Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High School. The private yard features mature trees, a deck, and professional landscaping, while interior updates include tile and wood flooring, recessed lighting, and central HVAC. At $486 per square foot—in line with the Brentwood market—this offering delivers both historic character and modern functionality in a neighborhood where such dual-use configurations rarely surface.

Vox Real Estate Insight

We at Vox Real Estate recognize this as a genuinely exceptional find in Brentwood, where most inventory consists of either new construction or properties requiring significant renovation. The income-producing guest house has effectively subsidized ownership for two decades, making this an unusually practical investment within a neighborhood known for lifestyle-first buyers seeking established community amenities like trails, pools, and the proximity to North Lamar's vibrant corridor.

Agent Description

This is the home that almost never comes available in Brentwood: a genuinely updated, move-in ready house with real character — plus a detached guest house, a combination you won't find elsewhere in the neighborhood. In a market full of teardowns, new construction, and duplexes, opportunities like this in the million-dollar range don't last. The main house is a lively, fully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home (1,467 sq ft) full of personality — fun wallpaper, bright living spaces, and a large screened-in patio for entertaining or quiet mornings. The real standout is the detached 723 sq ft guest house, bringing total livable space to 2,192 sq ft. It's ideal for multigenerational living, a home office, a small business, or income — it's been rented for the past 20 years and has essentially paid the mortgage the whole time. Just minutes from Burnet Road and North Lamar, and a short distance to all three top-tier schools, this is a true unicorn.
