907 Juanita

I passed this one up a few months ago because there were just too many good things at the time, but now that it's slowed down a bit it's worth doubling back for. It falls firmly in the modern at heart category and whether you like the style or not you at least have to admit that it's well done. I love all the sneaky hidden features like the sliding art that covers the TV and the hidden sink in the wet bar (click more info below to see all the photos). Bravo.

18306 Austin Blvd

This one is no spring chicken with over 500 consecutive days on the market. That sort of blows my mind to, because it's a great looking 70's modern house with a boat doc on Lake Travis and 5 acres for under $700k. Seems like a no brainer almost. Sure the interior needs some updating, but once that was done it would be amazing.

Price: $695,000

1800 E 13th

This was for sale last spring but it looks like things didn't work out. It's back now with a better price though it now shares the lot with a freestanding condo. I still think it's a fantastic house and it's funny how that nearly $700k price tag starts to look more and more reasonable as the years go by. I guess that goes along with 12th and Chicon looking very different these days...

Price: $699,999

Details: 2,103 sq. ft.  3 Bed, 3 Bath

This Allandale / Shoalmont project comes by way of Sett Studio. It's hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like there are all sorts of great little easter eggs surprises built into this design. The listing mentions a butcher block island with pull out pivot table, which definitely piqued my interest. That little feature I assume comes by way of Rabbet Labs.

Price: $1,200,000

4511 Balcones

And the hits just keep coming. This stunning mid century modern home was designed by Charles Granger (of Fehr & Granger) and built in 1963. It saw a total renovation in 2006 which means all the hard stuff has been done. Now you just need to buy some extra furniture to fill up the 7,000 + square feet of space. Oh, and invite me over for the pool party. 

Price: $2,400,000

Details: 7,008 sq. ft.  5 Bed, 9 Bath

57 Anthony

I always say that Holly is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Austin, and with all the development on Cesar Chavez it's only getting better. Unfortunately that means the price point is going up too, but this is a rare opportunity to get into the neighborhood in a new modern farm house for under $500k. How do they do it? Square footage. It's not a big house, but honestly 900 sq. ft. is plenty of room for one or two people. Plus there is some pretty great yard space to be had as well. 

Price: $415,000

Details: 902 sq. ft.  2 Bed, 2 Bath
