Property Overview

This completely reimagined 1956 mid-century ranch on Marilyn Drive stands as a masterclass in thoughtful renovation, combining the authentic charm Allandale is known for with museum-quality finishes throughout. A floor-to-ceiling reinvention included new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, and windows, creating a blank canvas that the current owners transformed into a sophisticated family residence. Vaulted beamed ceilings soar above gallery-white spaces anchored by an expansive wall of steel-framed windows and oversized French doors that flood the home with natural light and blur indoor-outdoor living.

The chef's kitchen emerges as the home's centerpiece, showcasing custom handmade cabinetry, marble countertops, a statement island with integrated cooktop, and premium stainless appliances beneath a remote-controlled retractable hood. An adjacent oversized laundry room with extensive built-ins functions as both practical workspace and designer butler's pantry. The primary suite overlooks the serene backyard and features custom closet installations designed for refined living.

At 2,353 square feet across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, this 9,208-square-foot lot offers substantial privacy and outdoor potential in one of Central Austin's most desirable neighborhoods, mere steps from Shoal Creek and highly-rated schools. The property sits at $574 per square foot, reflecting the premium quality of its complete systems overhaul and bespoke design execution.
