2504 Wilke Dr, Austin, TX 78704

Tucked in the heart of Barton Hills, this custom-built, multi-level home with gorgeous pool, separate 1br/1ba ADU and 2 car garage, balances everyday livability with resort-style luxury. The exterior showcases Accoya acetylated wood siding—renowned for its beauty, durability, and sustainability—setting the tone for the thoughtful design within.

Step inside to soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and abundant natural light. Every detail feels intentional—open yet intimate, refined yet relaxed. The main level centers around a spacious living area and a sleek chef’s kitchen featuring Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf appliances (including a lightning fast induction cooktop!) and custom cabinetry. The adjoining dining area, complete with a wet bar and statement chandeliers, creates an effortless setting for entertaining. A large accordion door opens fully to the spacious steel-framed screened porch, anchored by a vintage Aztec fireplace—an artful nod to the neighborhood’s mid-century heritage.

The main-floor primary suite feels like a private retreat with direct access to the pool terrace. Also on this level is a flexible office or fourth bedroom with a charming loft and separate full bath.

Upstairs, discover a versatile workspace, secondary bedrooms, and a family room designed for connection and comfort. The finished lower-level basement (a RARE find in Texas!) offers space ideal for a media room, gym, or guest suite. The home is smart-wired for sound and security, and includes a Tesla Supercharger for effortless convenience.

Just steps from Barton Hills Elementary and minutes from Zilker Park and South Lamar’s vibrant restaurants and shops, this home delivers the best of Austin living. Priced below recent comps for a timely sale—don’t miss this rare opportunity.

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.
