Property Overview

Nestled on a sprawling half-acre wooded lot in the prestigious Tarrytown neighborhood, this exceptional 1971 A.D. Stenger-designed residence embodies the architectural character that defines West Lake Hills at its finest. The home's most compelling feature is its rare mid-century modern design, complete with soaring wood-paneled cathedral ceilings, hand-forged iron details, and a thoughtfully proportioned split-level layout that creates intimate, layered living spaces. Set within the nationally recognized Eanes ISD and just seven minutes from downtown Austin, Zilker Park, and Barton Springs, the property commands a prime location that balances serene seclusion with urban convenience.

Recent updates honor the home's original integrity while bringing it fully into contemporary living. Anderson windows, renovated bathrooms, fresh flooring, and a replaced roof preserve the mid-century bones while ensuring modern comfort and durability. The kitchen thoughtfully bridges vintage charm with functional living. At 3,720 square feet across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the residence offers abundant space without sacrificing the intimate character that makes 19 Sugar Shack Drive distinctive. The tree-lined cul-de-sac location and genuine privacy from the mature canopy create an oasis that echoes a bygone era of Austin residential design—a quality increasingly rare in today's market.

Agent Description

Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of West Lake Hills, just steps from Rollingwood, this rare 1971 A.D. Stenger-designed home is the kind of place we wish Austin made more but rarely does anymore. Set on an oversized half-acre wooded lot in the nationally acclaimed Eanes ISD, it offers genuine privacy, treehouse canopy views, and an address that puts you just 7 minutes from downtown, Zilker Park, and Barton Springs. The architecture earns its pedigree. Original wood-paneled cathedral ceilings soar overhead, hand-forged iron details anchor the spaces with character, and a thoughtfully designed split-level layout gives the home a warm, layered quality that feels both intentional and lived-in. Updates have been made with true craftsman care, Anderson windows, renovated bathrooms, new flooring, fresh paint, and a roof replacement among them, preserving the home's mid-century bones while bringing it fully into the present. The kitchen strikes the right balance: striated wood cabinetry and quartz counters meet natural textures in a space that feels elevated without feeling fussy. Four bedrooms, three full baths, and multiple living areas give the home real flexibility. Quiet and cozy one evening, ready to entertain the next. Then there's the Big Surprise!......a 700-square-foot climate-controlled lower level, currently outfitted as a professional photography darkroom, quietly honoring the home's long artistic history. Music studio, painting retreat, workshop, home gym, the space is waiting for its next chapter. Soul. Space. Story. This is a true Austin original.
