Property Overview

This rare corner lot on Rae Dell Avenue in Barton Hills represents a generational opportunity—the home hasn't changed hands in over fifty years. Sitting on nearly two-thirds of an acre with Hill Country views and direct access to Barton Creek Greenbelt's network of nature trails and swimming holes, the property offers the kind of location Austin buyers compete fiercely for. The existing 1956 residence provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 1,246 square feet, serving as either a foundation for thoughtful restoration or a starting point for redevelopment on this coveted Barton Hills parcel.

Walking distance to Zilker Park, local restaurants, and neighborhood amenities, this address places residents in one of Austin's most desirable communities. The established tree canopy and expansive grounds create privacy rarely found so close to downtown access. Whether updating the original mid-century character or reimagining the footprint entirely, the land itself—zoned for top-rated Barton Hills Elementary, O. Henry Middle, and Austin High—commands premium positioning in the market.
