You had me at Eames Lounge Chair. Seriously though I'd say 90% of the time when you see an Eames Lounge chair, it means that the rest of the design in the house is going to be good. This little Cherrywood charmer is a total sleeper from the street. It's a great example of my Modern at Heart tag. Doesn't look different from the street, but inside has been streamlined and cleaned up nicely.

Read MoreHyde Park isn't usually known for modern, and while this isn't the best modern condo I've posted, it is too well decorated and reasonably price to not share. It has a nice open floor plan, double height ceilings in one area, and it's priced under $200k. Yes please.
Price: $195,000

Read MoreWhen it come to "modern" I tend to prefer the ultra modern. I get that everyone has their own taste though, so for those that prefer the more traditional, this one is for you. The overall structure is quite modern with it's dramatic cantilevered sections. The interior has been softened by using complementary but more traditional finishes. The views? Stunning.
Read MoreThe North Loop has a lot of great things going for it. There are brilliant restaurants like Foreign and Domestic and Kome, bars like Workhorse and Drinkwell, and of course vintage shops like Room Service Vintage. The one thing that it doesn't have is a lot of modern and MCM homes for sale. This little diddy on 51st helps to fill that gap. It looks to be a good sized home at a decent price, with nice landscaping and a good indoor outdoor connection. What's not to love?
Read MoreAnother great Agave house for sale. I've been in a few homes in Agave with a similar layout where you have to go up a flight of stairs to get to the front door. While it does feel a little awkward at first, I must admit that having a living room on the 2nd floor makes for a great view.

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.
