2610 Geraghty Ave, Austin, TX 78757

Tucked away in the coveted Allandale neighborhood, this modern new build by Dominique Levesque (Levesque & Co) offers gorgeous entertaining and living spaces peacefully situated amongst a thoughtful landscape. When driving up to the property a striking heritage Live Oak stands out amongst the modern structure. A custom full lite mahogany pivot door by Swing Door company sits behind the tree at the end of a walkway covered by a welded steel trellis. Not a typical builder home, the first floor consists of large format terrazzo-like tile, mahogany interior doors with concealed hinges, and flush baseboard with trimless door jamb detailing. The brick exterior is repeated inside on the large fireplace that acts as the central focus of the great room. The dramatic kitchen boasts floor to ceiling mahogany cabinets, a full Kitchen Aid appliance package with a double oven, a designated coffee/bar area, and a stunning waterfall island with architectural details. The large covered back porch acts as a continuation of the living area with large sliding glass doors creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience, perfect for entertaining. The primary bedroom overlooks two beautiful Live Oaks--the trees on this lot are stunning. The master shower walls are clad with 2cm quartz creating a near seamless backdrop for the standalone tub. The first floor offers another bedroom/bath combination, while the second floor has two bedrooms with ensuite baths, and a flex space perfect for a kids’ play area or an office. This property is minutes from the commerce and entertainment on Burnet Rd, ten minutes from downtown, ten minutes from The Domain, and close to all major arteries like MoPac, 183, Lamar and I-35. This sophisticated new build is unlike anything currently available today.

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.
