$734,000 - 1600 Barton Springs Road 4205, Austin

The Jewel at Barton Place earns its name the moment you step inside. The heart of this home — a brilliantly redesigned, brass-accented kitchen — is the showpiece that sets this residence apart. A modern gem, it anchors the entire living space with warmth, sophistication, and a level of detail rarely found at this price point. Located just steps from the Butler Hike and Bike Trail, this 2-bed, 2-bath condo delivers the kind of Austin living people wish for: a private perch surrounded by trees with the city’s best dining and entertainment minutes away. A coveted east-facing balcony tucked into the canopy sets the tone. From the sun-drenched living room, views of the trail and treetops frame the warm, inviting space. Inside, every detail feels intentional, from smart-home lighting to contemporary fixtures and updated hardwood-style LVP flooring. The kitchen features a waterfall quartz island with deep seating, professionally refinished two-tone cabinetry, brass hardware, a metallic honeycomb backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, a Kraus Workstation sink, and stainless appliances, including a gas range and vent hood. The dining and living areas flow easily around the island, creating a bright, social layout. A newer stacked LG washer and dryer and an updated water heater add everyday convenience. The primary suite feels calm and welcoming with designer paint tones, blackout roller shades, and an ensuite bath with a dual vanity, walk-in shower, and deep soaking tub. The second bedroom works perfectly for guests or a home office. Barton Place elevates daily living with a saltwater pool, fitness center, community garden, rooftop terraces, concierge, and secure underground parking (two large side-by-side spots). The guest suite and gym are conveniently one flight down, and an Urban Storage Unit is included. Modern, connected, and surrounded by nature — The Jewel at Barton Place is a rare find above the trees.
