8604 Millway Dr, Austin, TX 78757

Rarely will you find a home in Central Austin this thoughtfully renovated and move-in ready. This home is what most buyers are searching for but struggle to find: a fully permitted, top-to-bottom renovation, each space thoughtfully considered. Step inside to a home filled with natural light that has been thoughtfully updated throughout, anchored by a stunning kitchen, open living spaces and designer baths with a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath floor plan is well-designed and intentionally laid out, making everyday living feel effortless. The oversized primary suite serves as a true retreat, built for relaxation. Outside, a newly designed xeriscaped backyard with no rear neighbor offers a true low-maintenance, private oasis, perfect for enjoying Texas summer nights, backed by the peace of mind of a brand-new roof with a 5-year warranty. The location is exactly where so many want to be — minutes from Austin favorites like Eldorado Cafe, Bartletts, The Domain, and Q2 with quick access to major highways and Austin's most prominent employment hubs. If you've been waiting for a turnkey home that puts you close to everything that matters, this is the one.

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.
