Encinas Rojas : Charles Harker

This house is truly a one of a kind. The Bloomhouse (I've also heard it called the mushroom house) was designed and built by Charles Harker in 1980. There is a fascinating little write up and in progress photos during construction of the house on ecoredux.com. The organic style of the house is somewhat similar to the work of Austin architect John Watson. It's really pretty amazing that we have as many unique houses as we do in Austin. This one is worth the purchase price just in land value. Hopefully the buyer continues to maintain and love this unicorn. 

Price: $695,000

Details: 1,101 sq. ft.  1  Bed, 1 Bath

Looking for a house with lots of natural light? It doesn't get much better than this. Whether it's for the ultimate vacation home on the lake, or your own personal little slice of heaven, this house has you covered. It's even got a 1/1 guest house and a boat slip. Big thanks to the year 1973 for giving this place some style. 

Price: $1,325,000

Details: 2,682 sq. ft.  4 Bed, 4 Bath

3017 Geronimo

They are calling this new build "Modern Usonian" clearly inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian houses. I would have to say the name is spot on, as is the architecture. From the curb it looks like an very well executed project. I wish that the same level of quality was more apparent with the interior finishes though. That being said, this still seems like a steal for $625k.
