5645 Oak Blvd

Set on nearly an acre in Oak Acres, one of Southwest Austin's quietest and most distinctive pockets, this 1958 mid-century modern has been brought forward rather than gutted. The original architecture is intact with clean lines, a flowing floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and a wall of windows opening onto the landscaped backyard. The windows have been fully replaced, with upgraded insulation and recently replaced HVAC system, so the light comes without the energy penalty typical of a house this age. New flooring runs throughout, including thick engineered hardwood, alongside significant new drywall, a remodeled primary bath, and a quartzite bar. Much of the expensive invisible work is already done: new water lines and new sewer lines, replaced rather than patched.Two EV chargers are installed one Tesla, one universal and the Tesla setup includes vehicle-to-home capability, allowing a V2H-equipped Tesla to power the house during an outage. It functions as whole-home backup without a standby generator, an increasingly rare feature in Austin after recent grid winters. Oak Acres, said to have once been a racetrack, remains a neighborhood where no two houses look alike.
