5615 Clay Ave

Tucked away in Austin’s coveted Brentwood neighborhood, this 2,800+ square-foot residence offers architectural character and style. Custom built by acclaimed Austin builder Charles Martin for his family, the four-bedroom, three-bath home features soaring ceilings, pine floors, exposed brick columns, and expansive windows that evoke a classic New York townhouse. Though legally a condominium, it lives like a private single-family home, with its own detached structure, expansive yard, and no HOA fees.

A welcoming den offers an ideal office, while the flexible floor plan includes a private main-level bedroom and full bath for guests. The spacious kitchen features abundant cabinetry, open shelving, a generous pantry, and peninsula seating for three, connecting to a charming living room with a brick fireplace, hand-carved wood mantel, and wall of windows.

Upstairs, the light-filled primary suite includes an enclosed flex space for a home office, nursery, or workout room. The remodeled primary bath offers dual vanities, soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and an oversized walk-in closet with custom storage. A loft with built-ins provides space to read or work, while two generously sized bedrooms share an updated Jack-and-Jill bath. An upstairs laundry room adds convenience.

The generous backyard is a rare find in central Austin. A covered deck extends the living space outdoors, while a crushed-granite dining area beneath a magnificent pecan tree invites relaxed entertaining. A separate garden retreat with a hammock offers a peaceful place to unwind. Abundant storage, a two-car garage with epoxy-coated flooring, and an additional parking space complete the property.

Walk to neighborhood coffee shops and restaurants, with H-E-B and Central Market just minutes away. Bike-friendly streets and nearby Austin favorites make everyday living effortless. Enjoy the character of an urban townhouse with the space, privacy, and outdoor living of a single-family home.
