Mid-Century Modern Gem in Barton Hills – A.D. Stenger Original:
Discover this rare 1950s mid-century modern masterpiece designed by renowned architect A.D. Stenger perfectly situated on a desirable corner lot leading to a cul-de-sac in the heart of the Stenger subdivision in Barton Hills. Just a short stroll from Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool, this home blends timeless architecture with modern updates in one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
Surrounded by majestic live oaks and mature landscaping, the property feels both private and serene, while remaining close to the best of Austin’s cultural and outdoor attractions, such as the S. Lamar, S. 1st , and South Congress dining and entertainment districts.
Highlights include:
Architect-owned and thoughtfully renovated, preserving the home’s original character while introducing high-end and sustainable upgrades;
a recently built (2023) luxury Primary Suite designed with clean lines and natural light perfectly blends with the original 1950s house that can also function as a:
flexible optional rental apartment with a full second kitchen and den — perfect for multigenerational living, guests, or income potential (current tenant is renting at $2500 per month and is interested in extending her stay);
open, vaulted living spaces with exposed structure and wood ceilings that showcase Stenger’s iconic mid-century aesthetic.
This home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Austin’s architectural history while enjoying modern comforts in a very walkable, vibrant neighborhood.
