1809 Barton Hills DR Austin, TX 78704

Listing details for 1809 Barton Hills DR, Austin, TX 78704 : In one of Barton Hills’ most coveted pockets on an over 1/3-acre private lot, this is the kind of property that quietly ruins ordinary houses for you. Private, dramatic, and built for someone who wants the city close but not in their face, this 3 BD, 2 BA main home with a separate 1 BD, 1 BA casita lives like a boutique retreat with a seriously good Austin address. Inside, the layout has its own point of view. The raised kitchen and dining area sit just above the living room, giving the whole space a natural sense of dimension while keeping the outdoors front and center. The living room makes a statement with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, a custom 20’ climate-controlled wine wall, and a dual glass door that open to the backyard. The kitchen remodel in 2018 brought a fresh, elevated feel to the heart of the home, complete with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a huge quartz island with waterfall edge. Both baths were remodeled in 2021, bringing the same updated sensibility into the private spaces. Major system upgrades have already been handled, including a roof and solar panels in 2018, solar batteries in 2022, pool equip. replaced in 2021, HVAC in 2024 and an EV charger added in the garage in 2025. The backyard understood the assignment, it’s full resort energy: Infinity-edge pool, spa, multiple decks and patios, outdoor kitchen, covered lounge areas, and layers of entertaining space that spill into a lush greenbelt setting. Whether it’s a laid-back afternoon by the pool or a night that turns into one more bottle and one more hour, this setup knows exactly what it’s doing. The separate casita adds to the appeal, whether used for guests, home office, or to support the property’s current success as a high-performing STR. And for anyone thinking even bigger, there’s potential for a 2nd-story expansion that could offer panoramic city views. This house is for someone who wants privacy without isolation, design without stiffness, and a backyard that absolutely shows off.
