Property Overview

This meticulously renovated 1955 mid-century ranch on Arcadia Avenue showcases the thoughtful design that defines Allandale's character. Featured on HGTV Renovations following its 2015 transformation, the two-bedroom, two-bath residence demonstrates how smart updates honor original bones while delivering contemporary comfort.

The primary suite provides a serene retreat with spa-inspired bathroom details and a generous walk-in closet. Strategic updates ensure modern living standards: new plumbing installed in 2018, a fresh roof added in 2022, and a new privacy fence completed in 2023.

Central heating and cooling, tankless water heater, and stainless steel appliances round out the thoughtful upgrades throughout this West View Heights gem.

Vox Real Estate Insight

The Allandale neighborhood has seen significant appreciation in recent years, though this property's per-square-foot pricing sits notably above the immediate area median, reflecting its HGTV-featured renovation pedigree and meticulously maintained condition. At Vox Real Estate, we recognize that buyers seeking authentic mid-century charm with documented, quality updates in one of Austin's most desirable central neighborhoods often view this premium as justified by the renovation work already completed and the strong bones of the original 1955 design.
