About This Home
Welcome to 1908 Karen Ave, a beautifully updated 1955 bungalow tucked away in Austin's highly desirable Brentwood neighborhood. This home is a hidden gem, offering a rare and highly sought-after combination of space and versatility for everyday living.
Inside, you'll find four bedrooms (perfect for dedicating one as a home office!), and two separate living areas for both relaxing and entertaining. A unique double-sided fireplace connects one living space directly to your primary bedroom. Just imagine cozy evenings by the fire, enjoyed from both your living space and the comfort of your personal retreat! Recent upgrades include recessed lighting, fresh interior paint, and new tile floors (all 2025) which all enhance the home's warmth and highlight the abundant natural light that pours in from outside. The primary bathroom has a large walk-in closet, and has been updated to a quartz countertop double vanity. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features a convenient breakfast nook (perfect for quick bites or coffee) and opens seamlessly to a formal dining space – ideal for larger gatherings or even a playroom!
Step outside to a generous .27-acre lot framed by mature trees, offering incredible privacy and shade. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered front porch overlooking a majestic 60+ year old Red Oak, and unwind to the sounds of nature on the back patio in the evenings. Recent exterior updates include a newer roof (2024), freshly painted cedar shingle siding (2025), and newer HVAC (2021). Plus, there's a shed, a large rainwater collection system, and a spacious 152 sqft (per owner) attached utility/laundry room for extra storage.
You'll love the unbeatable location, just a short stroll, bike ride, or drive to Brentwood Elementary and Brentwood's beloved playground. This home offers a rare opportunity to embrace an incredible community while enjoying all the perks of Austin living!
