Property Overview

This 1972 single-story home on Blarwood Drive in South Manchaca presents a rare find: nearly half an acre backing directly to a tranquil creek, creating a secluded oasis just minutes from downtown Austin. The 1,575-square-foot residence sits cradled by mature trees that provide natural privacy and shelter, transforming the backyard into a retreat that feels worlds away from the city despite convenient proximity to South Congress, South Lamar, and MoPac. At $317 per square foot, this property offers notably better value than the South Austin median.

The single-story layout delivers flexible living with four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two distinct living areas perfect for families seeking space to grow or entertain. Soaring vaulted ceilings and a gas fireplace anchor the main living room, while the kitchen and breakfast area frame views of the expansive backyard and creek beyond. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, and the generous floor plan accommodates everything from a media room to a home office with ease.
