6100 Gena Ct, Austin, TX 78757

This Allandale home sits on a private third-acre lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, built new in 2021 with mature trees and space you won't find often in central Austin. In 2024, the owner added a 26 x 16’ heated pool and spa with sun deck, an outdoor kitchen, outdoor speakers and landscape lighting. Premium synthetic turf surrounds the pool for low maintenance and beauty year round, also helpful with relieving any pet grass allergies.The backyard is fully enclosed, completely private from neighboring homes, and centers around the pool with abundant space on each side of the yard for a playscape, extra structures, toys and more. The great room opens to the backyard through 8-foot glass sliders, with a 72" Dimplex fireplace and European white oak floors throughout. The kitchen has double-stacked KraftMaid cabinetry, waterfall quartz counters, a 36" KitchenAid gas range, a paneled built-in refrigerator, and a walk-in pantry. All four bedrooms are on the main floor, each with a custom walk-in closet. The house is a split floor plan with the primary suite on the opposite end from the other three guest rooms, providing great owner privacy. The primary bath has a free standing tub, oversized walk-in shower with a rain head and body jets, plus a large custom closet. Three bedrooms have motorized blackout shades. App controlled Hue lighting downstairs. Upstairs, the large bonus room has transom windows giving it a treehouse vibe, along with a large covered balcony overlooking the pool and a full bathroom built in 2026. This upstairs retreat works well as a media room, guest space, home office or gym. The garage includes a car lift, 240V EV outlet, epoxy floors, a side door and large storage closet. Zoned to highly desired Gullett Elementary, Lamar Middle School and McCallum High School. Come take a look.

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.
