2410 Elmglen Dr is the rare listing that arrives with "Guest Favorite" status. This beloved 78704 short-term rental has been quietly cash-flowing in one of Austin's most coveted zip codes — and the guests who book it once keep coming back.

It's easy to see why. The home has a genuine soul that guests feel the moment they walk in. Four bedrooms, three baths, and 1,534 sq ft of living space that flows effortlessly to one of the best outdoor setups in the neighborhood — nearly 400 sq ft of covered patio, a raised deck canopied by mature trees, and a backyard that delivers rare privacy in the heart of the city. A detached office tucked in the back, finished and ready for whatever you need it to be. A separate guest suite with its own private entrance that earns its keep year-round.

Inside, the kitchen runs nearly 18 feet with a farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, and finishes that reward a second look. Hardwood floors throughout — fully refinished last year — and a master bath that was completely remodeled in 2025. A living room that actually fits people. The whole home was fully renovated in 2015 and has been thoughtfully maintained since, including a new roof installed just three years ago.

For the buyer who falls in love — it's ready. For the investor who sees the land — this is a premium 0.19-acre lot in a zip code where new construction commands $2.6–2.8M. At $1.3M, the numbers tell their own story.

Live in it. Cash flow it. Build on it. ACL and SXSW are practically in your backyard. Minutes from Zilker, South Congress, Barton Springs, and Lady Bird Lake. This is 78704 — and opportunities like this don't linger.

At $847/sqft, this home is priced 117% above the Austin active market average of $391/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →

Neighborhood Context

About Barton Hills

Barton Hills is the South Austin neighborhood for people who want to live in nature without leaving the city. Perched in the hills just south of Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park, it gives residents walk-in access to two of Austin's most beloved outdoor destinations.

The housing stock is largely mid-century ranch homes - solid bones, generous lots, and a scale that feels human. Many have been updated or rebuilt, but the neighborhood has retained its character unlike some Austin areas that have been completely transformed by teardown development.

🏊
Barton Springs Pool

A spring-fed, 68-degree swimming hole that's been an Austin institution for a century. Walking distance from most Barton Hills homes.

🌲
Greenbelt Access

Direct access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt - 12+ miles of hiking, mountain biking, swimming holes, and rock climbing along Barton Creek.

🎉
Zilker Park

Home of Austin City Limits Music Festival, Trail of Lights, and Kite Festival. One of Austin's most-used parks is literally steps away.

🏡
Mid-Century Character

Some of Austin's best preserved 1950s to 1970s ranch homes. Large lots, good bones, and a neighborhood scale that resists over-development.
