7509 Daugherty St, Austin, TX 78757

Located in Allandale, one of Austin's much-loved established neighborhoods, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home is just up the street from Northwest Park and Pool, and walking distance to Burnet Rd hotspots, including Tumble 22, Tacodeli, Juiceland, El Mercado and so many more! The trip to downtown is easy with Mopac highly accessible from this location. You have the advantage of a quiet neighborhood with the convenience of urban living. There is a beautiful tree that shades the front of the home, with a spacious backyard. The backyard trees are well spaced if you decide to build an add-on. The buyer will likely want to update, but the home has a nicely laid out space with 4 beds and 2 baths. The seller is offering an allowance for carpet replacement in the bedrooms, while the rest of the flooring is a stained concrete. The kitchen is efficiently laid out with updated glass front cabinets and slate tile countertops, as well as a pantry closet. There is a good layout and ample room to expand the kitchen when you are ready to make changes. With an entry foyer, a formal living room and a large family room space there is versatility in how you use the communal living spaces. The primary living space has an original raised hearth wood-burning fireplace that provides a beautiful focal point for the room. The primary bedroom has an attached updated bath. Remodel the current home either just sprucing up or adding square footage, with ARVs well above 900k, or teardown and build new luxury unit (buyer to verify feasibility of any future plans).

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.
