If you know me you know my weakness for the Brown Building. The units there all have terrazzo floors and concrete beamed ceilings, plus extra low taxes thanks to a historical designation on the building. This unit was actually for sale a few years ago and it's back. It even had a recent $15k price reduction. What's not to love.
Price: $434,000
Details: 1,282 sqft, 1 (or 2) Bed, 2 Bath
Read MoreWhile architecture of this house is about par for the course for east Austin infill, the interiors are better than most. There are actually two units to choose from here as well, a 1,800 sqft one for $450k and a 1,100 sqft one for $350k. All things considered either of those options are a pretty good bargain for a brand new house.
Price: $450,000
Details: 1,799 sqft, 3 Bed, 2 Bath
Read MoreI'm back, and I've got a sleeper with an interesting back storyto share. This is one of those houses that I suspect is better in real life than it is in the photos. It was designed in 1979 by Chartier Newton, an Austin based architect that practiced briefly with Arthur Fehr in the 70's after Charles Granger's untimely death. Like Charles Granger he also studied at Cranbrook Academy of Art and worked for Eero Saarinen for a time. This house has a fantastic private outdoor courtyard which the house wraps around. It's seen some updates (for good or bad) and now it just needs a little interior design love.
Price: $920,000
Details: 3,027 sqft, 3 Bed, 2 Bath
Read MoreAs far as condos go, the Dick Clark designed 04 Flats is one of my favorites. Those warm block walls juxtaposed with the more industrial pallet is the perfect mix. Those roof top views aren't too shabby either.

Read MoreThis Jay Corder designed home in Travis Heights was definitely a no expense spared project. There is exotic wood and stone everywhere, and you know the Fireorb fireplace wasn't cheap. It's even got a pool and a separate roof top hot tub so you are covered all season long.
