I’ve always been a fan of the Caswell Lofts, and this unit definitely doesn’t disappoint. While the furnishings aren’t my jam, I love all the architectural elements. Most of all though I feel like these are a great bang for the buck.
Price: $330,000
Read MoreYou’ve probably seen this one kicking around before. It’s the former home of Governor Ann Richards, which is enough to make me like it all by itself. Besides that though it’s pretty notable mid century modernist architecture on a particularly amazing lot. I’m actually amazed no one has done a tasteful update on this one yet.

Read MoreJust when I thought things were slowing down a whole bunch of amazing new listings came on the market today. My favorite of all of them is this gorgeous house designed by Tom Hurt. It’s just been 6 short years since it was built, but the design looks fresh as ever. I’m particularly fond of all that maple cabinetry, that’s a trend that is past due to come back.

Read MoreLegendary architect Harwell Hamilton Harris had a short but important stint here in Austin in the early 50’s. This condo, one of three in the Cranfill Apartment complex is one of the few architectural legacies he left in town. This one is a bargain for any true mid century modern enthusiast.
Price: $495,000
Details: 858 sqft, 1 Bed, 1 Bath
Read MoreUnfortunately this one is doubly depressing. This 1953 mid century modern home designed by architect Leonard Lundgren is being billed as a tear down, with demo permit already approved. The high price tag comes from the large amount of land, which is where it gets even sadder. The adjacent lot that is being included in the sale is the former site for the William O’Connell designed home we featured last year. The home unfortunately is no longer with us. Pour one out for Austin architecture today. :(

Read MoreI've been lucky enough to have been in a number of Alterstudio designed houses over the years and they all have an unmistakable style to them. I think restrained elegance may be the best way to put it, they are amazing spaces without feeling like they are trying to be anything special. This place has that feeling in spades.
