8203 Sandalwood Cv, Austin, TX 78757

Lush landscaping and towering trees surround this recently, and meticulously, renovated home. Located in the heart of North Shoal Creek, minutes away from The Domain, Q2 Soccer Stadium and everything Burnet Road has to offer, this property allows the unique convenience of walkability to nearby retail & restaurants, as well as quick access to major highways and thoroughfares. Because it’s situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, traffic, noise and street parking are never an issue. In 2018, the current owners completed an extensive renovation and patio addition, leaving very few surfaces untouched. In the kitchen and common areas, you’ll notice stainless steel appliances, granite counters, custom hardware, shiplap accents, built-in storage and shelving, curated light fixtures and an abundance of natural light from the newly installed, energy-grade windows. The re-configured primary suite boasts custom, over-sized his and hers closets, a built-in dresser/vanity, a beautiful glass subway tile shower, and a cozy reading nook. Upstairs, you’ll find two large bedrooms and another full bath. With the exception of the original hardwood floors, these spaces were also updated with stunning dormers, complete with window seat storage, bold paint and wallpaper, custom trim in the nursery, new windows and significant closet space. Ideal for entertaining or relaxing, the back yard is quite spacious, yet private. The outdoor patio features a stunning ceiling with recess lighting, as well as a custom outdoor kitchen, complete with a built-in gas grill, trash pull, sink and refrigerator. This isn’t your typical remodel! There are few houses on the market with comparable attention to detail and high-quality finishes. We cannot wait for you to check it out!

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.
