Sitting beneath a canopy of mature trees in the heart of Barton Hills, this 3 BD | 2 BA home feels like your own hidden retreat. With top rated Barton Hills Elementary just across the street and the Barton Creek Greenbelt quite literally in your backyard, you’re wrapped in the best of both worlds: community and nature. The approach to the home winds through natural landscaping and native plants, giving off a calming, almost meditative energy before you even step inside. It’s the kind of entrance that makes coming home feel like an exhale. Upstairs, the main living and dining areas feel like a treehouse with vaulted ceilings, warm hardwood floors and panoramic views of the surrounding greenery create a true indoor-outdoor experience. Large sliding glass doors in both spaces open to a covered deck that’s ideal for sipping coffee, entertaining or just listening to nature’s sounds through the trees. The kitchen offers its own charm with quartz countertops and decorative tile backsplash that gives warm Spanish-style vibes. Downstairs, all three bedrooms offer quiet, private spaces. The primary suite and one of the secondary rooms enjoy direct access to the lower-level patio, another expansive outdoor space ideal for morning yoga or evening wine under the trees. The secondary rooms are flexible enough for guest space, a home office or even a personal gym. The backyard blends green space with natural wildlife habitat, giving kids or pets room to roam while still feeling tucked into nature. A detached 1-car garage offers private parking or storage. This home offers a sense of calm and connection to nature, while still being minutes from the pulse of the city, Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake, downtown Austin, South Lamar and SoCo are all right nearby. It’s a rare blend of privacy, location, and character in one of Austin’s most loved neighborhoods. This property has a National Wildlife Habitat Certification providing the four basic habitat elements to thrive.
