Inside Emma Stone's $41 million renovated estate
Located in the upscale Tarrytown neighbourhood, the 1.25-acre property will be among the most expensive on the market in Austin, Realtor reports.
According to Eric Moreland of Moreland Properties/Forbes Global Properties, one of the listing agents, the actress and her husband, comedy writer Dave McCary spent more than three years renovating and restoring the home.
Moreland said the couple's New York business interests have expanded since they started the remodel, and while they hope to live in Austin eventually, it doesn't make sense for now.
The couple, who are co-founders of the production company Fruit Tree, own a roughly $US12 million ($A18 million) apartment in lower Manhattan, according to property records.
Stone is slated to star in the upcoming contemporary Western film 'Eddington.'
It's unclear what Stone and McCary paid for the Austin property, since Texas is a nondisclosure state.
The Georgian-style brick house dates to around 1940, making it one of the oldest estates in the area.
The roughly 10,000-square-foot estate includes a main house with four bedrooms and a two-bedroom guesthouse.
The property also has a pool, a hot tub, and a garage with a screening room and entertaining space above.
As part of the renovation, the couple removed, cleaned and reused all the exterior brick.
The pair also reconfigured some of the living spaces, opening the kitchen to the living room for a more modern layout.
It took more than a year just to install the millwork in the screening room, said Moreland.
The contractors are now putting the finishing touches on the property, he said.
The 'La La Land' actress has a track record of buying and selling her homes for significantly more than she paid.
In 2022, she sold her blufftop Malibu, Calififornia, home for $US4.425 million after buying it for $US3.25 million in 2018, according to property records.
Last year, she sold her home in L.A.'s Comstock Hills neighbourhood for $US4.3 million, significantly more than the $US2.3 million she paid in 2019.

Sophie Turner recalls accidentally breaking up a celebrity couple: ‘They ended their engagement that night'
Watch out for Sansa Stark. Sophie Turner has revealed that she accidentally caused a celebrity couple to split following a Comic-Con afterparty more than 10 years ago. The Game of Thrones alum, 29, shared the surprising story Thursday night during a guest appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. 'That night was actually quite crazy for me,' Turner told Meyers, who was also at the afterparty at the time. 'It went really south really quick.' 'I brought my best friend from my school days with me, and she saw this actor that she loved,' the X-Men actress continued, noting that she and her friend waved at the star. 'Later on, I see this girl looking at me, and she's a famous actress.' Although Turner would not reveal who the mystery couple was to avoid getting 'in trouble', she said that the pair broke up shortly after the dramatic incident. 'I dance on over and she goes, 'Can you stop f**king flirting with my fiance?',' she recalled. 'I was like, 'Who's your fiance?' She points to the guy that I'd waved at. I have no idea who this man is. 'Turns out, I think they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave],' Turner concluded. 'I didn't realise I held this power.' Meanwhile, the star also opened up about reuniting with Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington for their upcoming flick The Dreadful. Turner and Harington, 38, had to get intimate for the new gothic horror movie, and she said that it was 'vile' having to kiss her former on-screen sibling. 'We get on set and we are both retching,' Turner revealed before calling the scene a 'really bad moment in (her) career.' As for her love life off the big screen, Turner was married to pop star Joe Jonas, 36, for four years before he filed for divorce in September 2023. The former couple shares daughters Willa and Delphine. More recently, Turner has been linked to aristocrat Peregrine 'Perry' Pearson, 30, following her surprising split from the Jonas Brothers star.

Britney Spears' ex-husband Sam Asghari savagely roasts Kevin Federline over new tell-all book
Britney Spears' ex-husband Sam Asghari took a vicious swipe at Kevin Federline over his upcoming tell-all book, calling the dad of six a 'professional father'. In a clip shared by TMZ on Saturday, a photographer asked the former personal trainer what he thought of Federline's upcoming book, which will 'detail his marriage with Britney.' 'Well, he was a professional father,' he replied while walking outside West Hollywood hotspot The Abbey on Saturday, cheekily adding that the memoir 'would be the first book that'll tell you how to be a professional father'. Federline — who was married to Spears, 43, from 2004 to 2007 — announced his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew, earlier this month. Per The Daily Mail, the former back-up dancer — who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James, 18, with Spears — wrote in a press release that the book will uncover personal details about their 'highly publicised marriage'. 'This book is extremely intimate and transparent,' Federline wrote in the release. 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced non-stop emotional turbulence.' The book is set for release on October 21 in the US. Federline famously took custody of their sons after the marriage ended, and collected $US20,000 ($30,678) a month in child support from the pop princess until November 2024 — when both sons were past the age of 18. Following the ill-fated union, which saw Spears endure a highly publicised meltdown amid the end of her marriage, Federline went on to marry Victoria Prince, with whom he shares two daughters. He also shares two grown children with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson. Spears was briefly married to childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004, though the union was quickly annulled. Years after her split from Federline, she went on to date Asghari after filming her Slumber Party music video with him. In May 2022, following their 2021 engagement, the former couple endured a miscarriage. 'It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy,' they said in a joint statement at the time. 'This is a devastating time for any parent. Perhaps we should have waited to announce until we were further along. However we were overly excited to share the good news.' Spears went on to marry Asghari in a star-studded ceremony in June 2022, only to have it end in divorce in 2024. Asghari, 31, who is now dating Brooke Irvine, appears to have residual loyalty for his famous ex-wife. The Traitors personality told Page Six in January that he wishes his ex-wife 'the best,' despite their failed marriage. 'I think that the number one factor of a partner is to be there for one another, no matter what,' he added.
