The trees are part of the house here.

They press close to the windows, filter the afternoon light, and turn the main living room into something that feels almost suspended in green. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in West Lake Hills, just steps from Rollingwood, this 1971 A.D. Stenger home sits on a wooded half-acre in Eanes ISD, only minutes from Barton Springs, Zilker Park, and downtown Austin.

Inside, the original wood-paneled cathedral ceilings and exposed beams bring warmth overhead, while hand-forged iron details and the split-level design give the rooms texture and movement. Nothing feels flat or overly polished. The house has depth, quiet corners, long views through the trees, and spaces that invite both gathering and retreat.

The kitchen has been updated with quartz counters and striated wood cabinetry that feel natural to the architecture. Andersen windows, renovated bathrooms, updated flooring, fresh paint, fixtures, and a replaced roof have brought the home forward without sanding away the character that makes it memorable.

There are four bedrooms, three full baths, and several living areas, each with its own sense of place. Downstairs, a 700-square-foot climate-controlled space is currently used as a professional photography darkroom. It could remain a room for making things, whether that means music, painting, writing, movement, or work that needs a door and a little distance from the rest of the house.

The seller is offering a $100,000 incentive that may be used toward closing costs, a rate buydown, or future updates.

This is a home for someone who wants to live among trees, close to the city, in a house with history, texture, and room for a creative life.
