Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of West Lakes next door to Rollingwood, this rare 1971 A.D. Stenger-designed home blends architectural pedigree with creative love and an unmatched location. Situated perfectly on an oversized, half-acre wooded lot in the nationally acclaimed Eanes school district, the property offers privacy and treehouse-cozy views just 7 minutes from downtown Austin, Zilker Park, and Barton Springs. Inside, original wood-paneled cathedral ceilings, hand-forged iron details, and a thoughtfully split-level layout create a warm, joy-filled atmosphere. The updated kitchen pairs natural textures with modern touches, featuring striated wood cabinetry, quartz counters, and a fresh, elevated aesthetic. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and multiple living areas, the home offers flexibility for both quiet living and sassy entertaining. Surprise! A 700-square-foot climate-controlled lower-level space, currently used as a professional photography darkroom, adds a nod to the home's artistic history. This space is abundant with potential as a music or art studio, workshop, or home gym - truly endless possibilities. An exceptional opportunity to own a mid-century original with soul, space, and story. This is a true Austin original.
