Emma Stone's $26.5M Austin, Texas Mansion Is On The Market After 4 Years Of Renovations

Forbes

Multi award-winning actor Emma Stone and comedy-writer and producer Dave McCary’s Austin sanctuary, is now on the market at $26.5 million, offering a new steward the rare chance to direct its dazzling finale.   A leafy corner of Tarrytown where magnolia leaves blanket the streets and celebrity sightings prompt more knowing nods than star-struck squeals. Privacy, yes, but conversely a sense of quiet community. Streets remain walkable. Schools rank highly. Lake Austin sits minutes away for a paddle or a dusk cruise.  In that context, a discreet iron gate and a brick drive feel less like luxury than necessary etiquette. That said, listing agent Eric Moreland notes the walled, 1.24-acre parcel is a rare pocket of private breathing-room—hard to come by in Tarrytown and harder still across Austin.  Inside, craftsmanship channels old-world flourish. Herringbone oak clashes playfully with reclaimed brick, a syncopated conversation in wood and clay. Fireplaces and countertops wear thick, cream-toned marble. Leaded-glass panes peek through arched openings, winking at the past. Heritage, rewritten.  Fitting for an actor, the house hides a cinematic lair. Walnut-clad cabinetry conceals secret doors, a full bar waits in the wings, and double insulation teams with acoustic fabric overhead to uncork genuine theater hush. Elsewhere, a glass-wrapped solarium absorbs the day’s full rays, while a wood-paneled library keeps counsel.

00:08burn lasted four years.

00:10The couple's Austin Sanctuary, slated for completion this summer, is now on the market

00:15at $26.5 million, offering a new steward the rare chance to direct its dazzling finale.

00:23The home sits in a leafy corner of Tarrytown, where Magnolia leaves blank at the streets

00:28and celebrity sightings prompt more knowing nods than starstruck squeals.

00:33The walled, 1.24-acre parcel is a rare pocket of private breathing room.

00:38Hard to come by in Tarrytown, and harder still across Austin.

00:43Inside, craftsmanship channels old-world flourish.

00:47Herringbone oak clashes playfully with reclaimed brick, a syncopated conversation in wood and

00:52clay.

00:53Fireplaces and countertops wear thick, cream-toned marble.

00:57Leaded glass panes peek through arched openings, winking at the past.

01:02Outdoor rooms unfurl beside their canopy.

01:05Terraces for twilight suppers, a future pool deck pitched toward the lake breeze.

01:10Nearby, an auxiliary two-bedroom cottage seals the estate status.

01:16Fitting for an actor, the house hides a cinematic layer.

01:19Walnut-clad cabinetry conceals secret doors, a full bar waits in the wings.

01:24And double insulation teems with acoustic fabric overhead to uncork genuine theatre hush.

01:30Elsewhere, a glass-wrapped solarium absorbs the day's full rays, while a wood-paneled library

01:36keeps counsel.

01:38Stone and McCary bought the 1940s manor in 2021, seeing potential in its dignified brick

01:44and the guardian oaks that flanked the plot.

01:47They then set about coaxing it into the 21st century without silencing its past.

01:52Historic homes like this one can be found in steady supply across Austin.

01:56Yet the city's future-leaning ethos spills into its rooftops, where new construction steers much of the market's current momentum.

02:03Still, discerning buyers are in search of soul without inheriting every squeaky joist.

02:09This home threads that needle.
