Property Description

Step into Austin's Architectural History: Iconic Westlake Retreat with Hollywood Ties
Experience a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Austin history at 1909 Toro Canyon Rd, where celebrity charm, award-winning design, and retro-modern flair come together on a 1.75-acre oasis in Westlake.

Initially designed in 1975 by acclaimed architect Jay Weaver, this 4,089 sq. ft., 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence is a celebrated example of 1970s modern architecture, having won First Place at the Texas Institute of Building Design Competition in 1973 and featured in Austin and Its Architecture (1976). The home’s design has even attracted Hollywood glamour, serving as a temporary home for Dolly Parton while she filmed The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Mid-Century Magic Meets Modern Updates
The home's design was considered cutting-edge at the time, incorporating high-tech features like an intercom system and space-age touches that remain delightful today. The fully operational dumbwaiter adds vintage charm and practical convenience, while the space-age hidden bar stands as a playful nod to the era's fascination with innovation and entertainment.

Recent updates by Bercy Chen Studio have enhanced the pool and patio areas, offering a refreshed setting that complements the home’s original design vision. Floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that light and nature flood every room, creating a seamless connection to the lush surroundings.

Property Highlights:
Award-Winning Design: Recognized by the Texas Institute of Building Design
Celebrity History: Hosted Dolly Parton during her Best Little Whorehouse in Texas filming
Indoor-Outdoor Harmony: Breathtaking views from every room
Primary Suite with Private Balcony: A serene sanctuary on its own level
Retro-Modern Kitchen: Updated in 2011, preserving the home’s authentic character
Hidden Bar & Dumbwaiter: Unique original features that captivate and charm
Greenhouse & Retractable Sun Shades: Practical design with timeless appeal
Resort-Style Pool & Patio: Thoughtfully reimagined by Bercy Chen Studio
1.75 Acres in Westlake: Private, serene, and just minutes from downtown Austin
From the hideaway bar to the greenhouse and retractable sun shades, every element of this home tells a story. Whether hosting elegant gatherings or simply enjoying a quiet evening by the pool, this property offers a lifestyle of luxury, history, and modern convenience.
