Located in a special pocket of Barton Hills, this home is full of Austin personality, starting right at the curb. Its reimagined mid-century exterior gives it a look of its own, and that character continues throughout the updated 3 BD, 2 BA interior. The living room, kitchen, and dining area share an open layout that feels warm and inviting. White cabinetry and dark quartz countertops anchor the kitchen, while geometric tile, brass hardware, statement pendants, floating shelves, and a breakfast bar keep things interesting. The primary bedroom has its own ensuite and walk-in closet, while the two secondary bedrooms can accommodate guests, an office, or a little of both. French doors open from the dining area to a backyard made for spending time outside. A vaulted covered patio, string lights, hammocks, native-style landscaping, stone pathways, and a stretch of lawn create separate spots for gathering, grilling, or settling in under the trees. Parked out back is an unexpected twist: an RV that conveys with the property and has its own access point, allowing guests to come and go without crossing the main lawn. Currently rented separately, it can continue as a short-stay rental or become extra quarters for visiting guests. The main home is also operating as an active Airbnb, giving the next owner several ways to use the property: live in the house and rent the RV, stay here part time while hosting guests, or continue the current short-term rental setup. Downtown is close, and the neighborhood offers direct access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt. City days, trail mornings, backyard nights, and income potential all share the same address and nothing about it feels ordinary. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed, all information should be independently verified by the Buyer and the Buyer's Agent.
