2604 Cavileer Avenue Austin, TX 78757

Residing on a quiet Allandale street, this expanded stone ranch home welcomes you with a covered front porch and layered cottage-garden landscaping. The approachable first impression sets the tone for the whole home. Owned and lived in by an architect for the last 23 years, the home retains original tile, vintage fixtures, and warm wood floors. The result strikes a rare and beautiful balance between original 1950s character and a well-integrated addition that expands the home without losing its soul. The kitchen has personality — a festive teal wall pairs well with the white subway tile, and butcher block counters surround a farmhouse apron sink. An inviting built-in bay-window breakfast nook overlooking the front yard prompts you to linger. The original living/dining area centers on a wood-burning fireplace. Two living spaces open to a private patio and tree-shaded backyard, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The addition's second living space is a rare bonus that really enhances the livability of the home. The original garage was converted into a spacious home office with a built-in reading nook — ideal for remote work, homeschooling, or a creative studio. Throughout the home you'll find character-filled moments that only come from an architect's eye: a cozy under-the-stairs desk or a dedicated laundry room tucked off a drop zone hallway. Upstairs, the light-filled primary bedroom retreat offers vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows framing the tree canopy. One of the original 1950s baths remains intact with pastel tile and pedestal fixtures, while a second downstairs bath has been lightly updated. Currently zoned to Gullett Elementary, Lamar Middle School, and McCallum High School (per AISD site). This spot allows for evening strolls in the neighborhood, proximity to Shoal Creek greenbelt trails and recently refurbished Northwest District Park & pool, Burnet Road's dining and retail corridor, and easy access to MoPac to commute Downtown.
