The kitchen has been redesigned with custom cabinetry and clean, elevated finishes, opening naturally to the main living areas for an easy, connected flow. Updated windows invite in abundant natural light, while major system upgrades, including a high-quality HVAC system and tankless water heater, provide long-term efficiency and peace of mind. Exterior enhancements, including updated roofing, siding, fencing, and a striking mahogany front door, create a refined and cohesive presence from the street.

A rare combination of thoughtful design, permitted craftsmanship, and exceptional location.

The 1962 stone and HardiPlank home at 1711 Belford Dr in Allandale North tells the story of a complete transformation. This four-bedroom, three-bath sits on a level 0.1982-acre lot anchored by mature trees exceeding 40 feet, creating immediate curb presence on a quiet residential street in Austin's 78757 zip code.

The 1,978-square-foot floor plan received a comprehensive renovation in 2019, taken down to studs and rebuilt with full permits. This gutting preserved the bones of the original mid-century structure while introducing modern systems throughout. A professional HVAC system and tankless water heater handle the Texas heat and daily demands. The roof, siding, and exterior fencing are new. A mahogany front door signals the care applied to first impressions.

Inside, the reimagined layout flows through an open floor plan that connects the redesigned kitchen to main living areas. Custom cabinetry pairs with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances including a gas range. A kitchen island anchors the space. The primary suite offers walk-in closet storage. A second bedroom functions as an office or mother-in-law suite, providing flexibility that typical mid-century layouts cannot match. Recessed lighting, updated windows, and a mix of wood and tile flooring carry the renovation's intentional design through every space.

The two-car garage and private yard provide practical living space beyond the walls. This property sits in Austin ISD, with Wooten Elementary, Burnet Middle School, and Navarro Early College High School serving the Allandale North neighborhood. The location positions you minutes from The Domain shopping corridor to the north along 183, where major tech employers cluster. Downtown Austin is accessible via the same corridor heading south.

At $799,000 ($404 per square foot), this home represents a 1962-built property with $300,000 in documented improvements and modern systems, positioned in one of Austin's most established central neighborhoods. The combination of permitted, professional renovation work, functional layout upgrades, and a neighborhood location near both employment centers and retail corridors creates a home where the effort invested shows clearly in daily living.

Allandale is a mid-century neighborhood in North-Central Austin's 78757, built around the Burnet Road dining corridor and the Shoal Creek trail. Median home price $950K. Austin ISD schools (Gullett Elementary), 12 minutes to downtown, 8 minutes to UT campus.

The housing stock is predominantly 1950s-60s ranch homes on generous lots (8,000-12,000+ sq ft) — big enough for serious yard space, a pool, or a future addition. Some owners have updated; others love the original floor plans. A teardown-and-rebuild wave is underway but slower than in Westlake or Tarrytown. Active listings typically number 10-15 at any given time.

Burnet Road changed everything. Barley Swine, Bufalina Due, Pinthouse Pizza, Yard Bar, and Phil's Icehouse turned this stretch into one of Austin's best dining corridors. Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest Pool (Austin's first Olympic-sized public pool, opened 1956) anchors summer life. Shoal Creek bisects the neighborhood with a trail connecting south to downtown and north to Anderson Lane.

What makes Allandale the value play in Central Austin: lot sizes that rival Tarrytown at half the price, a dining corridor that rivals South Congress, and a commute that's shorter than most suburbs. The tradeoff is Austin ISD (good but not Eanes) and mid-century homes that may need updating.
