Easy living in 78704. I love these modern townhouse condos that keep popping up in central Austin. They are perfect for the person who wants to live right in the middle of the action, have a lovely home all to themselves, but not have to deal with yard work and all of those hassles that can go along with home ownership.

Read MoreI'm a big fan of these high end free standing condos that are becoming more and more common in areas like 78704. The important thing to look at is how well they are finished out on the inside. The grain matched kitchen cabinetry tells me that they probably didn't cut corners on this one.
Read MoreEven though mid century modern architect A.D. Stenger designed and built over 100 homes in the Austin area, it's still fairly rare to see one for sale. This particularly one looks extra delightful, and the Barton Hills location is in my mind, ideal. Built in 1950 (one of his earliest works) this home features a low slung roof line typical of Stenger homes, use of clerestory windows, as well as the use of local building materials like limestone. The interior courtyard, along with the extensive interior skylights, are two of the most striking features of the home. Both of them contribute to the light filled airy feeling in the home.
Read MoreThese "Condos" are becoming more and more popular with the rising land prices. They are basically two homes, sometimes connected sometimes not, on one lot. This particular beauty happens to be in the heart of Bouldin Creek, walking distance to Elizabeth St Cafe, Sway and many more. Designed by Steve Zagorski this home has some great light filled rooms and an open floor plan. Unit B is also available.

Read MoreIf you are looking for a ultra modern home in Barton Hills, you'll have a hard time finding something better than this one. Designed by Brett Grinkmeyer and inspired by the mid century homes built by Joseph Eichler, this 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bathroom home features multiple courtyards and intimate connections with the outdoor environment. I'm particularly fond of the use of wood on the ceiling of outdoor areas as well.
