Classic Allandale. Midcentury charm. Don’t miss this classic 1964 home, blending timeless character with thoughtful updates. Step inside to the welcoming front sitting room, a flexible space just off the entry that sets the tone for the home’s easy, livable layout. The updated galley kitchen connects the dining area and main living room, creating a natural flow for everyday life & entertaining. Both the dining space & living room open to the backyard through sliding glass doors, bringing in natural light and extending your living space outdoors. The living room centers around a striking stacked stone fireplace wall, a true focal point that adds warmth & architectural interest. The kitchen & primary bathroom were updated in 2017, offering a clean, functional refresh while maintaining the home’s character. In the primary bedroom, a classic clerestory window frames a beautiful mature oak tree, enabling privacy while bringing in natural light. In the hall bath, original pink tile has been preserved, providing a peek into the home’s vintage roots. Out back, the covered patio overlooks a flat, usable yard that’s ready for whatever you envision: garden, play space, pool, or future expansion. A durable metal roof adds long-term peace of mind. All set in one of Central Austin’s most beloved neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, and unbeatable access to local favorites.

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.
