Property Overview

This 1954 ranch on Fresco Drive captures the essence of established Allandale, where vintage Austin character meets thoughtful modern updates. The four-bedroom, three-bath home spans 2,109 square feet of lived-in space that avoids over-renovation—instead, the owners preserved the effortless cool of the original design while addressing the systems that matter. Recent work includes a two-year-old roof, updated plumbing with cast iron removed, refreshed kitchen and bathrooms, and fresh paint throughout.

The nearly one-fifth-acre lot provides genuine outdoor living, with space deep enough for gardening, entertaining, and even an additional storage shed. Located on one of Allandale's most walkable streets, this home sits steps from beloved restaurants like Fonda San Miguel and epicerie, plus newer favorites like Tzintzuntzan. The neighborhood's wide streets and established character mean this is a place people choose for stability and continuity, not transience.

At $474 per square foot, the property reflects Austin's shifting values toward authentic neighborhoods with roots rather than trendy developments. This is Austin real estate that feels like home because it's been someone's home for decades.
