2600 Oakhaven Dr, Austin, TX 78704

Tucked into Barton Hills, one of Austin's most desirable neighborhoods, this mid-century modern home sits on a large .27-acre corner lot. The oversized lot offers plenty of room to explore opportunities, whether that's re-building, expanding, or remodeling. Inside, the home offers multiple living spaces. The family room has built-in bookcases, a large skylight, and French doors that open to the backyard, inviting plenty of sunlight into the space. A second living area features vaulted ceilings, an exposed beam, and a wet bar, giving you flexible space for entertaining or a casual hangout. Gorgeous custom hardwood floors run throughout, adding warmth and tying the rooms together. The kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, and plenty of cabinet space for storage, while an oversized utility room adds extra convenience, with room for laundry and more. The exterior features four-side masonry and a private yard, including a large side yard — a blank canvas for landscaping or future expansion. The location is amazing, with Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail, and the restaurants along Barton Springs Road all within two miles, while hotspots on South Lamar and the Barton Creek Greenbelt are just blocks away. With easy access to Mopac, South Lamar, and Downtown, this home checks all the boxes!

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.
