2811 W Fresco is a 1954 ranch home on one of Allandale’s best streets. The original four-bedroom home, spread over 2,109 square feet, has been updated to suit modern life, but with character that gives an effortlessly cool energy. The interior has been brought forward without being scraped: a two year-old roof, updated plumbing (cast iron removed), updated kitchen & bathrooms, and fresh paint throughout. The lot is just under a fifth of an acre, deep enough to garden and entertain with room to spare for an additional storage shed.

In Allandale the streets are wide and walkable, which is why it’s the kind of neighborhood that doesn’t reset every two years. Longtime favorites like Fonda San Miguel and epicerie, along with newcomer Tzintzuntzan are all just moments away. It’s the kind of neighborhood you choose when you want continuity, a street that’s been here a while, and a house that still feels like Austin.
