About 1507 Karen Ave
Located in the heart of Brentwood, this updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home at 1507 Karen Avenue offers a rare combination of modern updates and an unbeatable central Austin location. Fully remodeled in 2020, the home blends timeless design with functional living, making it move-in ready while still offering long-term value. Inside, you’ll find a bright and inviting layout featuring a spacious living room and dedicated dining area, both filled with natural light. In March 2026, the home was further enhanced with new luxury vinyl plank flooring in a French oak tone and a full interior repaint, including doors and trim, creating a fresh and cohesive feel throughout. The kitchen offers ample cabinet storage and workspace while maintaining an open connection to the main living areas, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. All four bedrooms are well-sized, with the primary suite offering high ceilings, a large closet, and a generously sized bathroom featuring a separate soaking tub and large walk-in shower, creating a comfortable and private retreat. The spacious lot is shaded by mature trees and provides plenty of room for outdoor enjoyment, gardening, or future customization. An electronic driveway gate and a rare two-car garage for the neighborhood add both convenience and security. Situated just minutes from Burnet Road’s popular restaurants, coffee shops, and local retail, this home offers convenient access to Downtown Austin, The Domain, and major thoroughfares. A great opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated home in one of Austin’s most desirable central neighborhoods.
