7711 Shoal Creek Blvd, Austin, TX 78757

Tucked into an Allandale cul-de-sac, this charming single story mid-century ranch has undergone a fully permitted remodel, with architecture by Edward Road Design and construction, interiors, and staging by Cary Paul Studios - recognized as a 2026 Best Builder by Austin Home. The home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a two-car garage, and a pool.

The kitchen features a custom built-in banquette, curved cabinetry and eye catching island clad with cypress wood and faced with cobalt-blue vintage European roof tiles. These unexpected details create a home that feels warm and unique.

The spacious primary suite features a generous walk-in closet and built-in cabinetry. The en suite bathroom includes a double vanity with marble countertops, a wet room with a freestanding tub and shower beneath a skylight, and a separate toilet room. The home has two living areas, vaulted ceilings, and a restored wood burning fireplace. The thoughtful upgrades include a tankless water heater, PVC plumbing, a skylight and sun tunnels. Cypress wood planks were used throughout the home to add warmth and character.

Outside, the backyard centers on a freshly replastered and newly tiled pool and updated landscaping. This home brings together mid-century charm, playful materials, and the comforts of a thoughtful renovation. The corner lot + culdesac location area ideal for access to restaurants and shopping on Anderson Lane (walk to Cabo Bobs, District Kitchen, etc).

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.
