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.
