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.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
Westlake Hills is an incorporated city in Austin's 78746 ZIP code, five minutes west of downtown via Bee Caves Road. Eanes ISD - ranked #1 in Texas by Niche 2026 - draws most buyers. Median home price $2.4M, with estates from $1.2M updates to $10M+ hilltop compounds. Roughly 1,000 total homes sit on wooded lots averaging half an acre to two acres, spread across the hills south of the Colorado River. Lost Creek, Davenport Ranch, The Oaks, and Bee Caves Woods each have a different character - from 1970s ranches on established lots to new-build Hill Country Contemporary estates with 20-foot ceilings and limestone facades. The housing stock is in a generational transition. Original 1970s-80s ranch homes sell as teardowns at $1-2M for land alone, replaced by $3-8M contemporary builds. At any given time, 25-30 homes are actively listed. Inventory is tight, and a meaningful share of deals happen off-market through agent networks. What defines daily life here: morning coffee at Swedish Hill, school drop-off at Eanes Elementary or Bridge Point, a trail run at Wild Basin Preserve, and dinner at Sway or Las Palomas without crossing MoPac. This is a quiet neighborhood built around schools and outdoor access, not nightlife or walkable retail. The people who live here chose it for exactly that trade-off.
