Set on a quiet, interior tree-lined street in the heart of Allandale, this charming 1960s home has been thoughtfully remodeled and expanded. A comprehensive 2022 renovation introduced a spacious new primary suite, wide-plank wood flooring throughout, and beautifully updated kitchen and living areas, where a lofted ceiling adds both height and character.
Behind the scenes, significant system upgrades include a tankless water heater, new HVAC, and a standing seam metal roof (2025), offering peace of mind for years to come.
Step outside to the most picturesque screened-in porch overlooking a backyard shaded by towering oak trees. The outdoor space features a pool with heating and cooling capabilities, an automatic cover for added safety, and beautifully refreshed landscaping with Zoysia Zorro turf, a paver patio, cedar pool deck, irrigation system, and new gutters (2023–2024) — creating a truly turnkey backyard retreat.
The property also includes architectural plans for a future expansion above the garage, offering the opportunity to add a playroom and two additional bedrooms.
Located within Austin ISD and just moments from neighborhood favorites like Chez Zee American Bistro, Russell’s Bakery & Coffee, Yamas Greek Kitchen + Bar, and the vibrant shops and dining along Burnet Road, this home offers the very best of Allandale living.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
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.
