Is it just me, or does this seem like a good deal for a nice original early modern home in Shoal Creek? This former home of Ann Richards looks like it is still mostly original inside. I love seeing materials like Saltillo tile and laminate cabinetry in these old homes. They age so well and look just as in style now as they ever did.

Read MoreThis detached condo is a handsome example of good infill. I love the overall shape of the building and it has some nice detail. Lot's of good natural light on the inside and plenty of extra deck space too. There are a few questionable choice though like those floors and tile countertops (who does that still?). All that being said, the price per square foot on these is a steal!

Read MoreThis home was originally built in 1960 but since it's recent major remodel and addition it's pretty tough to see any of the original structure left. I suppose that's what happens when you double the size of a house. I don't mean that as a criticism though, the new home is very well done and has some interesting architectural elements to it.

Read MoreAnyone looking for a two million dollar project? All obvious flaws aside this 4,000+ sq. ft. home built in 1961 has some amazing bones and an even better lot and views. A little elbow grease and another $500k and I'm sure it will be breath taking.

Read MoreRight now I'm sitting in a luxury marketing class at South Congress Hotel and it's got me craving a bit of affordable modern. Unfortunately in Austin's housing market it doesn't get much more affordable than this. This 1953 home has been thoughtfully remodeled and (and well staged) and is ready for a new owner.
