Emma Stone’s $26.5 Million Austin Estate Lists After Four-Year Renovation

For Emma Stone and her husband Dave McCary, a dream renovation has turned into a new opportunity—for someone else. After four years of carefully transforming their Austin estate, the Oscar-winning actress and her comedy writer-producer partner are putting the nearly complete project on the market for $26.5 million.

Located at 2109 Rockmoor Avenue in the serene Tarrytown neighborhood, the property blends privacy and charm. Here, magnolia-lined streets lead to a quiet corner where celebrity sightings are met with polite nods rather than paparazzi frenzies. It’s a peaceful, walkable enclave, minutes from Lake Austin and surrounded by top-rated schools.

Once a 1940s Georgian-style manor, the estate was reimagined with the utmost care. Stone and McCary purchased the home in 2021 and committed to preserving its classic character while elevating it for modern living. Original bricks were delicately removed, cleaned, and reused as the home’s historic shell was reinforced with steel and concrete. Sunlight now pours through expanded glass walls, illuminating the newly open interiors.

A Peek Inside the Estate

Set on 1.24 walled acres, the grounds feel like a private retreat, with lush landscaping, tranquil water features, and whimsical touches like a cutting garden and fairy garden. Outdoor terraces invite sunset dinners beneath the shade of old oaks, and plans for a pool deck promise leisurely lake-facing afternoons. A charming two-bedroom guest cottage adds to the estate’s grandeur.

Inside, the four-bedroom main house oozes quiet sophistication. Think herringbone oak floors, reclaimed brick walls, and creamy marble fireplaces. Leaded-glass windows and arched openings nod to the past, while custom millwork and sleek modern amenities ground it firmly in the present. Nearly 80% of the renovation is complete, with finishing touches expected by summer.

One of the home’s most impressive features? A hidden, soundproof cinema room with walnut cabinetry, acoustic ceilings, and a full bar—perfect for private screenings. A glass-wrapped solarium offers sunny serenity, and a wood-paneled library provides the perfect reading nook.

Design That Honors the Past While Embracing the Future

Architects Cuppett Kilpatrick stayed true to the estate’s original blueprint, weaving new additions around heritage oaks and preserving the home’s graceful structure. “From the start, the goal was to design a modern estate that stayed grounded in Tarrytown’s traditional aesthetic,” said listing agent Eric Moreland, who represents the property alongside Diane Humphreys of Moreland Properties.

While Stone and McCary never officially moved into the house, their fingerprints are everywhere—from the thoughtfully chosen materials to the warm, welcoming layout. “Projects like this offer so much more than new builds,” says Moreland. “They carry a story, a soul.”

In a market often dominated by clean-slate constructions, 2109 Rockmoor Avenue is a rare blend of craftsmanship, heritage, and forward-thinking design. A true labor of love, now waiting for a new chapter.
