I wouldn't mind being king of this castle. Castlewood Forest is a small subdivision in South Austin that if full of great Texas style mid century modern ranch homes. This one recently got a full overhaul with what looks like some pretty tasteful surfaces. The .3 acre yard means you've got plenty of space to reign over.

Read MoreQuirky, cute and super affordable. Those are just a few reasons I'm crushing on this South Austin mid mod. Honestly it sort of blows my mind that for around $1,700 a month you could buy a house that looks this good. Compared to rent here in Austin, that's a bargain. Kudos to the current owners for doing a solid job remodeling and furnishing this little guy.

Read MoreHey Catalina, nice to meet ya.
Buying a house that has been remodeled already can be hit or miss. Usually I cringe when I see low dollar finishes in a nice house, but the very modest materials used in this remodel totally work. I almost feel as if they are more in line with the houses original intent than most remodels.

Read MoreThis is exactly what I love about South Austin. A three bedroom atomic ranch house with a pool and updated interior for under $300k. In East Austin or 78704 that would barely get you a tear down. This one should go fast.

Read MoreI think that South Austin has some of the most desirable, relatively speaking affordable, housing stock in Austin. Unlike the generally older and poorer kept homes on the East side, most South Austin homes are well built 70's atomic ranches like this. They have more space, both in terms of square footage, and lot size, and with a little vision, they can be amazing spaces. Speaking of amazing, how about that tree in the back yard? Swoon.
