We've seen some good modern homes this week, and some great mid century modern, so it only seems fitting to wrap it up with a modern at heart. I was thinking this morning about what I would do if I was on a tight (read under $250k) budget in Austin and buying a home. I think I would pretty much buy the cheapest thing I could on the East side, and remodel it like this.
Price: $397,500

Read MoreI'm excited to go check this one out. It's been on my list of A. D. Stenger homes but the current owner has done a lot of updating since it was last on the market. I'm happy to say too that it looks like they have done a pretty tasteful job. Click on the "more info" and check out the bold floral wallpaper in the bathrooms. Not my thing, but totally amazing.
Price: $795,000
Details: 1,923 sq/ft, 2 Bed, 3 Bath
Read MoreI've got to admit, a good deal of the allure of this house is the unknown. 1,800+ sq/ft on over .7 acres and all we get is a few shots of the living room? If the all those stone walls and clerestory windows in the living room are any indication of what the rest of the house looks like, this one could be a gem. Who wants to go see it with me?

Read MoreIf you read my newsletter this house probably looks familiar. Designed by Ezra Wheeler this modern home manages to be both minimal and eclectic in it's design. It's the little bits like the textured white door, the wood ceiling etc that help keep the space from feeling too cold. There are some better pictures here where it's furnished.

Read MoreI'm just going to continue on this theme of farmhouse modern. This Zilker beauty comes to us thanks to the folks at Moore-Tate. I'm really enjoying the stark black white contrast in the design. It makes the elements like the fireplace, doors etc really pop. Plus, how fun would it be to fill the space with some colorful pieces of furniture.
Price: $1,279,000

Read MoreI'm seeing a new trend in the spec housing market, and I like it. Slowly the helter skelter "modern" roof lines and mismatched bright siding colors are being replaced by houses with simple white volumes and minimal but organic inspired interiors. Hopefully we can see more of this distill down into the lower dollar infill in East Austin as well.
