3305 Westland Dr, Austin, TX 78704

Vintage 1950’s Mid-Century Classic home located in wooded Barton Hills/78704 neighborhood. Lovingly preserved with some modern finishes, this beautiful, move-in ready, single-story home offers original hardwood floors, 3 bedroom/1 bathroom (new bathroom tile flooring), updated kitchen appliances, covered backyard patio, and huge backyard with wooden privacy fence. Plenty of room to add an addition and/or a pool on this oversized 0.21 acre lot, as well as the potential for new construction as there are many new multi-million dollar homes in the neighborhood. Excellent Austin ISD schools include Barton Hills Elementary, O’Henry Middle School, and Austin High School. Refrigerator and washer/dryer convey with the home. Convenient Barton Hills location, walking distance to South Lamar eateries, cafes, bars, shopping, the Barton Creek Greenbelt, Barton Springs, Zilker Park and more. Walk to the Broken Spoke or Lavaca Street for a night out or to Easy Tiger or Kerbey Lane for weekend brunch. Near proposed billion-dollar redevelopment for the nearby Brodie Oaks Shopping Center. Convenient to Highway 71/Ben White Blvd., Mopac, and IH-35. Ten minutes to downtown, 15 minutes to AIBA, and 20 minutes to the new Tesla plant.

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.
