Property Overview

This 39th Street residence in Shoal Crest merges architectural character with modern practicality in a way that defines central Austin living. Built in 1994, the home showcases Queen Anne-influenced details on its facade while maintaining the clean functionality of contemporary Craftsman design—no outdated systems or awkward floor plans compromise daily comfort. The 2,752-square-foot layout thoughtfully separates public and private spaces, with the primary suite anchoring the main level and two of three upstairs bedrooms each claiming direct bathroom access. A gated circular driveway, two-car garage, and shared alley access provide the privacy and convenience residents expect, while four additional street parking permits offer flexibility.

Located minutes from MoPac and Downtown, this Shoal Crest property sits within one of Austin TX's most walkable neighborhoods. Central Market anchors 38th Street just blocks away, while the Shoal Creek Hike and Bike Trail invites morning runs and evening strolls. Burnet Road's dining and entertainment scene sits equally close, creating that rare blend of outdoor recreation, shopping, and dining that defines the area. Priced at $454 per square foot—notably 20 percent below area median—the home delivers immediate value in a neighborhood where mid-century and modern aesthetics coexist.

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gives the facade distinctive architectural appeal, while the home captures the warmth of a modern Craftsman without the outdated systems, awkward floor plan, or maintenance concerns often associated with an older property.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.
