Nestled on a quiet, tree-line side street in central Allandale, this home is the latest in a long line of successful Newcastle Homes. With beautiful & warm contemporary design by Architecture by George, this single story + mezzanine takes full advantage of the oversized lot, while offering maximum outdoor space. We designed this home for both entertaining & everyday life, with seamless flow between entertaining spaces, both indoors & out; with a private living wing & an independent guest suite off the 2nd family room. The kitchen, dining, living & family rooms share an open floor plan as well as two massive three-panel multi-slide doors to the outdoor living & pool deck. There is plenty of space for outdoor dining & lounging, and we provide every amenity to ensure you can enjoy these spaces year-round with an outdoor kitchen, gas fireplace, pool & spa, plus a dedicated pool bath. With an office overlooking the front yard and a second studio/flex room upstairs overlooking the pool & backyard, this is a work-from-home/hobby paradise. To compliment the thoughtful design, we chose quality, timeless finishes throughout. The designer kitchen exemplifies this, with soapstone perimeter countertops contrasting with a white Zellige backsplash & book-matched marble island. An abundance of cabinetry & a walk-in working pantry ensure you'll never run out of storage. The wine fridge and beverage center save space in your 48” refrigerator & keep the drinks flowing. The 48” dual fuel range w. double ovens can accommodate everything from a simple meal to Thanksgiving dinner. The theme of timeless luxury continues in the primary bath with warm white oak cabinetry, Belgian Blue limestone top, tumbled limestone herringbone floor & Carrara marble around the soaking tub & dual shower. Every space in this home was carefully designed to be both beautiful and functional, with a focus on crafting natural materials into timeless spaces. *ASK about 5.875% financing with preferred lender.*

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.
