Property Overview

La Casa Drive's most captivating feature is its expansive 7,579-square-foot corner lot shaded by majestic oaks, offering a rare retreat within Barton Hills' coveted Zilker neighborhood. This 1951 bungalow balances original character with thoughtful updates, featuring warm wood accents, a statement turquoise kitchen with granite countertops and gas range, and a living area anchored by a stone fireplace beneath a generous skylight. A flexible bonus room currently serves as an artist studio but easily converts to additional living space, guest quarters, or third bedroom, while the owner's suite includes a dedicated skylit workspace or reading nook.

Native landscaping transforms both front and back yards into a personal nature sanctuary. The home sits steps from the Barton Creek Greenbelt's trails and swimming holes, with Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool within walking or biking distance. Local gathering spots like Matt's El Rancho, Kerbey Lane Cafe, and Torchys Tacos are equally accessible on foot. At $614 per square foot, the property commands a 10 percent premium above the area median, reflecting its location near Austin's most sought-after outdoor amenities and the neighborhood's established community character.
