1908 Airole : A.D. Stenger

We're back! The good news is I've got a doozy for you, the bad news is this beauty came and went in 3 quick days and is now under contract. Built by A.D. Stenger in 1950, one of the things that I like most about this house is just how original it looks inside. Sure it's probably seen a few updates over the years, but the important stuff hasn't been messed with. That combined with the HUGE lot, the location and that price, it's no wonder this one didn't last long.

Price: $599,000

Details: 1,288 sq/ft, 3 Bed, 2 Bath

1801 Glencliff

I'm not sure how I missed this one the first time it came on the market. Ohh yeah, it was probably because of all that peach exterior paint. Luckily this time I noticed it because besides the amazing Barton Hills location, this thing has load of potential. The bones are all there, now it just needs a little interior design magic.

1337 Spyglass

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.

2300 Rundell PL : A.D. Stenger

Even 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.

2202 La Casa

If 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.
