Let's be honesty, most people myself included use the term "mid century modern" pretty loosely. This house however, is exactly what I picture in my mind when I think of mid century. Unfortunately I don't know the original architect (drop me a line if you have any info) but this houses did receive a thoughtful remodel by Paul Lamb a few years ago, as well as landscaping by Big Red Sun.

Read MoreYES!!! I hope this is the beginning of a trend in East Austin. Instead of tearing down the original 850 sq. ft. home built in 1926, these builders invested in it, and tastefully added to it. To get the most bang for their buck they have also added a separate back house that is also for sale. It's a win win really. The neighborhood keeps it's historic homes, buyers get beautiful home, and developers prosper.

Read MoreFor those of you that liked yesterdays 70's modern, here is another treat. This one has some amazing architectural features, like that bank of recessed clearstory windows and some amazing flooring and stonework inside. It's also a really good example of just how good these houses can look when they get a few updates on the inside, and some new furniture. If only this address was in Austin and not Georgetown.

Read MoreAm I crazy to like these 70's contemporary houses? I think the architecture is great and the interior spaces are fantastic. This one designed by Austin architect John Fitzpatrick is an absolute time capsule. Yes the pink bathroom and the sculpted blue carpet will have to go, but some of those light fixtures are keepers for sure.

Read MoreJust down the road from from yesterdays A.D. Stenger mid century modern comes some new modern goodness. I'm really digging the car port and one car garage combo. The insides are good too with big bright and airy spaces just like you would expect. Clerestory window make for the cherry on top.

Read MoreThis 1954 home designed and built by A. D. Stenger looks to be about as original as they come thanks in part to the current owner that has owned the property since 1966. Luckily it's been well maintained, so fingers crossed it won't meet the same fate as the Stenger home on Ridgewood which is about to be demolished. I'll make you a deal, if you buy this house and promise to fix it up, I'll provide my design services free of charge. All I ask in return is that you invite me over for cocktails when it's all done.
