2713 Cascade Dr, Austin, TX 78757

Owner spent over $400,000 remodeling this gorgeous home. You’ve just discovered a rare, completely remodeled 1-story gem nestled in the desirable Allandale neighborhood in Central Austin and a short walk to Sheffield Northwest Park. This beautiful home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 kitchens and 2 laundry rooms. The versatile spaces can transform as your needs change. The placement of the 2nd primary creates a seamless opportunity for multiple uses as an extension of the main house, or an all-encompassing separate living space for multi-generational living when combined with the 2nd kitchen. The “2nd kitchen” can convert into a larger laundry room with ample cabinet storage and a sink. Detached from the main house is a 180 sf air-conditioned and insulated space (not included in home sf). Brand NEW: Replacement of cast iron plumbing under the house, complete foundation leveling and stabilization, roof and gutters, tankless gas water heater, two-16 Seer HVAC systems with extended warranty, interior doors, 3 custom iron doors, highly efficient Pella Impervia sliding door and windows, all wood custom cabinets, quartz countertops, high-end kitchen appliances (including 48” gas stove/electric double oven), wood flooring, high-end smooth wall finish, luxury tile, new light and plumbing fixtures, extensive landscaping, cement back patio, exterior paint, front porch cedar posts, fully fenced backyard, 5th bedroom or office, added water shutoff and pressure regulator. The home passed 17 City of Austin inspections to ensure a safe and efficient home. Seller is permitting a 1-story/2 car garage. See FEMA floodplain disclosure. The property is perfectly located between downtown Austin and the Domain with easy access to major roads, yet far enough for peaceful living. This beautiful remodel was completed the right way with incredible attention to detail.

The clearest advantage here is scale and flexibility in a fully reworked single-story layout. At 2713 Cascade Dr in Allandale, this 5 bedroom, 3 bath home delivers 2,736 square feet on a 0.2137 acre lot in Austin ISD, with Gullett, Lamar, and McCallum forming a strong school path that buyers in 78757 consistently track.

The numbers matter. At $1.26 million, or $460 per square foot, this property sits in a part of Central Austin where usable square footage, lot size, and school alignment all influence long-term value. The 1967 build has been substantially remodeled with more than $400,000 in work, and the scope of that work speaks to function as much as finish. The house includes two kitchens and two laundry rooms, which creates real optionality for multigenerational living, extended guest use, or a more independent secondary living zone within the main structure. The fifth bedroom also gives the floor plan another practical use case as an office.

What stands out most is that the remodel addressed core systems, not just surfaces. Cast iron plumbing under the house was replaced, the foundation was leveled and stabilized, and the roof, gutters, tankless gas water heater, and two 16 SEER HVAC systems were all updated. Windows and doors were replaced, cabinetry and countertops were redone, and the home passed 17 City of Austin inspections. That reduces the uncertainty buyers often face when evaluating older Central Austin housing stock. There is also a detached 180 square foot air-conditioned and insulated space that is not included in the main square footage, plus a seller permit for a 1-story, 2-car garage.

The setting adds another layer of appeal. The home is in Allandale and is described as a short walk to Sheffield Northwest Park, which supports day-to-day livability in a neighborhood where established location still drives demand. With 183 days on market, this is the kind of listing that deserves a more careful read than the average price tag suggests because the value here is in the amount of completed work, the one-story functionality, and the range of ways the property can serve its next owner over time.

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.
