1909 Glencliff Dr, Austin, TX 78704

Built in 1971, this 5 bedroom, 3 bath home was last updated in 1997, and is situated on a .44 acre corner lot with trees in coveted Barton Hills. Entering from Glencliff Drive, you are on the main level of the home where you'll find formal living and dining areas, a generously sized kitchen adjacent to very large family room with fireplace, a sun porch and four bedrooms with two baths. The lower level is accessed from a stairway in the center of the home and has an additional bedroom, a flex room with windows, a combo bath/laundry room and exterior door leading to the rear yard. The two car garage is also located on the lower level and adjoins the house with garage doors facing the side street of Foxglen. A separate, spacious shop in the rear of the lot provides more storage and work areas. Here is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for - to create the home you've always wanted in Barton Hills, just minutes from downtown Austin and South Lamar, and just steps away from the acclaimed Barton Hills Elementary and the Barton Creek Greenbelt.

Barton Hills is South Austin's Greenbelt neighborhood in 78704, where the Gus Fruh trailhead sits on a residential street and Barton Springs Pool is a five-minute bike ride. Median home price $1.49M. Austin ISD schools, 10 minutes to downtown, direct access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt and Zilker Park.

The housing stock is mostly 1950s-70s ranch homes on generous lots (8,000-12,000 sq ft) with mature live oak and pecan canopy. The terrain is hilly and the streets wind without sidewalks — everyone walks in the road and waves. Some original homes have been updated; others are teardown candidates for new builds. Active listings typically number 5-10 at any given time.

South Lamar corridor runs along the eastern edge — Uchi, Odd Duck, Loro, Matt's El Rancho, and the Alamo Drafthouse at Lamar Union are all within a mile. Zilker Park (351 acres) is the front yard. The Barton Hills Neighborhood Association actively protects the environmental features that make this location work — the springs, the Greenbelt, and the creek.

What defines Barton Hills: trail access from your front door, spring-fed swimming, James Beard Award-winning food a mile away, and a 10-minute downtown commute. The tradeoff is hilly terrain, no HOA-maintained common areas, and older housing stock that may need significant updating.
