Property Overview

This refreshed 1950s home on Payne Avenue in Brentwood combines classic mid-century charm with modern efficiency upgrades, offering exceptional value at 11 percent below neighborhood median pricing. The 720-square-foot layout flows seamlessly with original hardwood flooring, open living spaces bathed in natural light, and a kitchen anchored by stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and a breakfast bar. Energy-conscious updates including solar panels, a tankless water heater, and efficient windows reduce operating costs while maintaining the home's authentic character.

What truly sets this property apart is the half-acre lot and its exceptional outdoor living potential. The fenced backyard features a wood-burning pizza oven, raised garden beds, and multiple patio zones ideal for entertaining. Inside, two private bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the layout, while the property's detached structure feels like a standalone home rather than a crowded infill. Just minutes from downtown Austin and the University of Texas campus via neighborhood streets, 2012 Payne Ave places residents near Mopac access, the popular Burnet Road dining and retail corridor, and some of the area's highest-rated schools.
