Step inside this stunning Allandale midcentury ranch that flawlessly combines timeless vintage charm with a full, city-permitted remodel designed for today’s lifestyle. The heart of the home is a breathtaking open-concept kitchen, featuring sleek stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and radiant quartz countertops. The showstopper? A one-of-a-kind Texas Walnut breakfast table, handcrafted by DeVos Woodworking in Dripping Springs, set atop a weathered 12-inch well casing — a bold and authentic Texas statement piece. With two spacious living areas plus a cozy work/study nook, this home offers versatile spaces to entertain, relax, or get creative. The primary bathroom has been thoughtfully enlarged and remodeled, providing a luxurious retreat that still honors the home’s classic roots. Notable upgrades include a brand-new roof, stylish sliding glass doors that flood the living room with natural light, a spacious garden shed, and two front driveways that offer plenty of parking. Most importantly, all cast iron plumbing has been professionally replaced with durable PVC for worry-free living. Step outside to your private backyard sanctuary — a beautiful stone patio overlooking flourishing fruit trees, a vibrant vegetable garden, fragrant flower and herb beds, native plants with a recirculating bird friendly fountain, and a sustainable 500-gallon rainwater cistern that showcases eco-friendly living at its best. This central location is unbeatable! Walk to Northwest Park and Pool, FreshPlus Grocery, popular restaurants, charming coffee shops, local stores, and even the iconic Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Plus, with the Shoal Creek bike lane right outside your door, downtown Austin is an easy, scenic six-mile ride away—offering the ultimate blend of vibrant city life and peaceful neighborhood charm. Top-rated schools Gullett Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High complete the package, making this home perfect for families and urban professionals alike.

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.
