2009 Arthur Ln Unit #A, Austin, TX 78704

Steps from Zilker park and Barton Springs, 2009 Arthur Ln. #A is ready for new ownership. Tucked away in coveted Barton Hills on the Zilker boundary, Arthur Ln. offers style and location minutes from downtown, and walking and biking distance from everything central Austin has to offer. Living like a single family home with a well thought floorplan, it has 2.5 baths, 3 bedrooms, as well as a study and private balcony in the primary bedroom, and a large flex space at the top of the stairs. The master closet is oversized, and the space under the stairs is another added bonus. Large west-facing windows capture Texas sunsets and create a treehouse -like feel.

The garage has been beautifully maintained, fully insulated, sound proofed and air conditioned. It is currently being used as a music studio, but would be perfect for a home gym, studio or podcasters dream. The floors are epoxied and door is still functional - so use as an elevated two car garage is also possible. A cowboy pool has been added, and a hot tub added in its own private alcove. Lovely xeriscaping has been done in the yard. The floor plan is ideal for a range of needs. You dont want to miss this one, primed for true Austin living.

At 2009 Arthur Ln Unit A in Barton Hills, you're living on the Zilker boundary with the park and Barton Springs Pool within walking distance, yet the home sits deliberately removed from street traffic behind mature trees exceeding 40 feet. This 2,550 square foot residence built in 2009 delivers privacy without isolation, a critical balance most Austin properties struggle to achieve.

The floor plan reflects thoughtful design. Three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms anchor the main living spaces, but the property's real utility comes from how the layout works. A dedicated study, primary bedroom balcony, oversized master closet, and substantial flex space at the stairs give the home flexibility that matches how discerning buyers actually live. Large west-facing windows frame views rather than expose your life to neighbors. No carpet means the stone veneer and stucco exterior extend naturally into wood and tile flooring inside, creating visual continuity while maintaining easy maintenance. The multiple living areas don't feel segmented; they flow intentionally.

The 2-car garage has been fully insulated, soundproofed, and air-conditioned, transforming what's typically underutilized square footage into something genuinely functional. It currently operates as a music studio, but the epoxied floors and automated door mean it works equally well for home gym use, creative work, or reclaiming traditional garage functionality. The covered two-car capacity remains.

Outside, the private yard includes a cowboy pool with an adjacent hot tub in its own alcove, xeriscaped landscaping that respects water constraints, automatic sprinklers, and mature trees that create natural screening. The 0.12 acre lot feels larger because of that mature canopy.

Barton Hills Elementary, O Henry Middle School, and Austin High School serve the neighborhood through Austin ISD, placing you in a school district covering central Austin. Downtown Austin is roughly 10 minutes by car via Zilker Drive or Barton Springs Road. The location trades the sprawl of outer suburbs for direct access to downtown, Lady Bird Lake, and established neighborhoods already built out.

At $1.35M, or $529 per square foot, this represents land value in one of Austin's oldest residential districts combined with a thoughtfully maintained residence designed for privacy. Seven days on market suggests buyers recognize what this position actually offers.

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.
