Property Overview

This 1971 A.D. Stenger-designed residence on Sugar Shack Drive epitomizes the architectural integrity that defines Tarrytown's most coveted addresses. Nestled in a quiet West Lake Hills cul-de-sac on a sprawling half-acre wooded lot, the home commands authentic mid-century character with soaring cathedral ceilings, hand-forged iron details, and a thoughtfully layered split-level design that honors its original bones. Recent updates—including Anderson windows, renovated bathrooms, new flooring, roof replacement, and fresh finishes—blend seamlessly with the home's vintage soul, creating a residence that feels both intentional and genuinely lived-in rather than over-restored.

The 3,720 square feet of living space serves a lifestyle centered on proximity and privilege. Located just seven minutes from downtown Austin, Zilker Park, and Barton Springs, this address positions residents within the nationally acclaimed Eanes ISD while maintaining genuine privacy beneath a mature tree canopy. The kitchen balances period-appropriate warmth with modern functionality, supporting both everyday living and entertaining.

Priced at $2.69M on a premium per-square-foot basis reflecting the property's architectural pedigree and West Lake Hills location, this home appeals to discerning buyers seeking authentic mid-century design married to contemporary comfort. The combination of privacy, walkable proximity to Austin's cultural anchors, and the rarity of thoughtfully preserved Stenger architecture makes 19 Sugar Shack Drive a singular opportunity in one of the region's most established neighborhoods.

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. As a testament to the seller's confidence in this exceptional property, $100,000 flex cash Incentive is being offered. Flexibility allowing the discerning buyer to apply funds toward a rate buydown, curated modernizations, or any personal touch that transforms this home into a true reflection of their lifestyle. Rarely does an opportunity at this level arrive with both the home and the resources to make it entirely your own. 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, flooring, paint, and a roof replacement, preserving the home's mid-century bones while bringing it fully 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.
