Property Overview

Nestled in the heart of Brentwood, 2012 Payne Ave presents an exceptionally rare opportunity in one of Austin TX's most sought-after central neighborhoods. This 1950s charmer combines authentic mid-century character with thoughtful modern upgrades, sitting on a generous 3,550-square-foot lot just minutes from downtown, UT campus, and the vibrant dining scene along Burnet Road. The property's true showstopper lies in its expansive backyard—a tree-shaded retreat featuring a pizza oven and ample space for entertaining or quiet afternoons, a genuine rarity on lots of this size in central Austin.

The 720-square-foot interior has been refreshed with contemporary finishes while preserving the home's period appeal. Natural light floods through the open floor plan, creating an airy living environment that belies the intimate scale. Two private bedrooms and a full bath round out the functional layout, and a brand-new 2024 HVAC system ensures comfort through Austin's intense summers. Solar panels enhance the property's efficiency and long-term value, while proximity to the Brentwood Community Garden, walking trails, and Brentwood School reinforces this location's family-friendly appeal. At $421,200, this represents a smart investment in one of Austin's most walkable, well-established neighborhoods.
