2401 Trailside Dr Unit #B, Austin, TX 78704

Offered in one of Austin’s most desirable pockets, this LEED-certified residence by award-winning Hayes Builders delivers a clean, modern take on lock-and-leave living in the heart of 78704.

Spanning 2,100+ square feet, the home features three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, with a layout that feels both intentional and well executed. Floor-to-ceiling black casement windows, a curated material palette, and thoughtful architectural details carry through, creating a cohesive, design-forward environment.

The main level is anchored by an open kitchen, dining, and living space with soaring 11-foot ceilings and direct access to the private fenced backyard. The kitchen is equipped with professional-grade Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and an apron-front sink, designed to be both functional and visually refined. A half bath and ample storage complete the first floor.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a sense of scale with 14-foot vaulted ceilings and subtle downtown views. The ensuite bath is well-appointed with a double vanity, seamless glass walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, and a custom walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious utility room with built-in cabinetry round out the second level.

At the top, a rooftop patio captures elevated views of the Austin skyline, an uncommon and highly sought-after feature in this location.

Positioned just minutes from Barton Springs, Zilker Park, and Lady Bird Lake, the home offers immediate access to some of Austin’s most iconic outdoor destinations. A one-car garage with additional on-site parking adds convenience to an already well-considered property.

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.
