If you know Austin, you already know - location is everything. And this home delivers. Set in an A+ pocket of Barton Hills, just 0.4 miles (a quick 7-minute walk) to Barton Springs, perfect for morning swims before the public gates even open. Only 0.8 miles (15 minutes on foot) to Zilker Park, where the neighborhood dogs (and their humans) gather every weekend. Downtown is just 2 miles away, with effortless access to South Lamar, South 1st, and South Congress for some of the best dining, nightlife, and culture the city has to offer. This property has long been the go-to gathering place for friends and neighbors during Zilker events like ACL, Blues on the Green, and the Kite Festival - thanks to its unbeatable convenience. The home sits on a .221-acre lot with a shaded, private backyard framed by lush bamboo and a brand-new fence. Inside, original Austin charm shines through with Saltillo tile floors, balanced by thoughtful, tasteful updates like freshly painted interiors and exteriors, a renovated laundry room, and new decks that create seamless indoor-outdoor living. The open living and dining areas feel expansive and welcoming, with plenty of natural light and room to entertain. Numerous updates have been made over the past five years - now it just needs someone with vision to reimagine the kitchen and bathrooms and take it across the finish line. At 2,321 sq ft, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, feeding into highly rated Barton Hills Elementary, O’Henry Middle, and Austin High. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in one of Austin’s most desirable and walkable neighborhoods - a place where character, comfort, and location converge.
