This 2013 modern build looks like KRDB to my eye, though I can’t confirm it. It’s a good example of what does and does not age well. The architecture is still good but some of those finishes and fixtures just haven’t aged well at all. A good reminder that less is more. That being said, there’s a ton of value for the money here.

Read MoreI posted about this gorgeous mid century modern Zilker home a few years ago and mistakenly attributed it to A. D. Stenger. I was delighted to receive a phone call from the original owner and architect’s daughter setting the record straight. According to her, her father Kenneth Nuhn was the designer and builder. Mr Nuhn was an accomplished architect in his own right who spent much of his career working for the State Health Department. The house has seen a major addition remodel since but still keeps many of the defining architectural features.

Read MoreI just love the curb appeal of this house, the steep lot with the garage under the house makes for some nice proportions. Inside you’ll find a nice mix of old and new. The patina on those Saltillo tiles is priceless and the location couldn’t be better.

Read MoreI love a house that breaks out of the box and follows its own rules. This playful modern meets tudor house designed by Davey McEathron Architecture is a breath of fresh air. It has a great use of architectural motifs throughout that helps tie it all together.

Read MoreI was on the fence whether to share this listing or not, then I saw the pool house kitchenette with the reach through window for an outside bar. Absolutely brilliant. The rest of the house is equally well thought out and well appointed. What a perfect little Zilker oasis.

Read MoreWhile it’s easy to quibble over some of the details (could they not build a better looking fence for $4M?) this is a remarkably handsome house from Joseph Brothers. The main living space is flooded with light from an entire wall of windows, embracing the indoor / outdoor connection core to modernism. I also love the extensive use of walnut, a beautiful wood that has found itself out of vogue.
