5001 Westview

Northwest Hills is pretty much my favorite area in Austin for mid century modern homes, especially the southern bit. The rolling hills, manicured yards and amazing trees provide the ideal backdrop. While this home is a more typical ranch house than it is a true MCM, the owners have done a great job updating it and providing some interesting details.

I have to admit, I have a  little soft spot in my heart for art deco and moderne houses. They are usually a bit too contemporary and kitschy for me, but since they are so rare, I always find myself drawn to them. Enter this masterpiece. The entry is all flair, but once inside it pairs down to a typical contemporary space. If you're not head over heals in love with the house, there is always that view to fall in love with.

I like this listing for a few reasons. First, this is not the first "modern" home in the 1,700 sq/ft range to list in the $650k+ range. While this is a crazy price, it seems the market is supporting it, which bodes well for my new build next summer. Second, while the house isn't particularly interesting or compelling from the outside, I like that they took some chances on the inside. Definitely a love it or hate it interior.

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.
