Property Overview

This 1967 mid-century ranch on McElroy Drive in Allandale showcases the best of central Austin living with a single-story layout that prioritizes space and natural light across its 2,876 square feet. The home has undergone extensive modern upgrades—new plumbing, copper electrical wiring, updated HVAC, roof, solar panels, windows, and insulation—while maintaining the character that makes Allandale one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods. The bright, open kitchen anchors the residence with custom cabinetry and a substantial island, flowing seamlessly into multiple living and dining areas framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors.

The property's standout feature is its rare 220-square-foot casita with full bath, offering exceptional flexibility as guest quarters, multigenerational housing, or dedicated workspace. Exterior living is equally compelling, featuring a saltwater pool, expansive pergola, and concrete patio set against the home's natural edge lot of over 10,000 square feet. The combination of established community character, proximity to acclaimed schools, and access to Shoal Creek trails positions 3009 McElroy in a neighborhood where central Austin sophistication meets genuine livability.
