Dubbed "Ginger" by project architect North Arrow Studio with build and interior finishes by Cary Paul Studios, Ginger is a terra-cotta encased mid century modern inspired home which showcases a dynamic interplay of form and function, with exterior walls extending gracefully beyond the roofline. The terracotta brick and breeze block walls grace both the front and rear facades, seamlessly extending indoors to create feature walls in the main bedroom suite as well as the home foyer.

The main home features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, while a detached 2-car garage includes a guest cabana with a flexible space suitable for a bedroom or office, complete with a full bathroom. The two structures are connected via a fully landscaped yard with xeriscape and drought proof turf with a spacious modern pool accented by a huge brick feature wall and a hidden outdoor shower. The spacious kitchen is a culinary enthusiast's dream, featuring a large oak island accented with clay imports tile on the backsplash. Top-of-the-line appliances include a panel-ready fridge and dishwasher, with a cooktop cleverly integrated into the island, complemented by a minimalist ceiling-mounted vent. A delightful powder bath showcases custom cement tile, adding a touch of fun and character. Boutique custom cabinetry and tile can be found throughout.

At $610 per square foot, 2112 Lawnmont Ave stands out as one of the more design-forward newer builds in central Austin, pairing 2,910 square feet with a rare detached guest cabana and pool in Allandale. Set on a 0.2091-acre lot in Austin, TX 78756, 2112 Lawnmont Ave takes the familiar Allandale area street grid and gives it a sharper architectural edge with terra-cotta brick, breeze block detailing, and indoor-outdoor spaces that feel built for how people actually live in Austin.

This is a five-bedroom, four-bath, one half-bath single-family residence built in 2023, with the main house offering four bedrooms and the detached flex space over the two-car garage adding real utility for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. That matters in this part of town, where buyers often want walkability and central access without giving up functional square footage. The layout connects the two structures through a landscaped yard with drought-tolerant design, turf, a modern pool, and an outdoor shower hidden behind a substantial masonry wall. It reads private, clean, and low-maintenance.

Inside, the materials do most of the talking. The kitchen centers on a large oak island with clay tile at the backsplash, panel-ready appliances, and a cooktop placed directly in the island under a ceiling-mounted vent. Steel accordion doors pull in natural light and open the living areas to the yard. The primary suite adds another level of distinction with a Japanese soaking tub, walk-in shower, and floating double vanity. These are not generic finish selections. They give the home a point of view, which is not easy to find at this price point.

Location is one of the biggest advantages here. Burnet Road is close enough for daily use, and neighborhood staples like Fonda San Miguel, The Peached Tortilla, East Side Pies, Little Longhorn Saloon, Little Woodrow’s, and Voodoo Doughnut are all part of the immediate routine. This stretch of 78756 also keeps Mopac nearby for quick north-south movement through Austin and easier access to Downtown, The Domain, and major employment centers. The property sits in Travis County and within Austin ISD, which remains a key search term and decision factor for many central Austin buyers.

With 56 days on market, this home offers a chance to buy newer construction, strong design, and a true central Austin location in a neighborhood where land value and long-term demand continue to hold up. For a buyer who wants style, flexibility, and everyday access to the best of North Central Austin, this is the kind of address that should age well in both lifestyle and value.

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.
