When I posted this house two years ago it was the thought of margaritas by the pool that won me over. I'd still be down for a margarita poolside, but those more practical may be interested in the low property tax rate, amazing schools and other such silly things.
Price: $1,290,000
Details: 3,406 sqft, 4 Bed, 5 Bath
Read MoreIt's been a minute since I've shared what I like to call a hill country modern home. It's a classic Texas vernacular (limestone, exposed beams, ranch style) with a modern twist. While it's never 100% my cup of tea, you have to admit it wouldn't suck to live there.
Price: $1,999,000
Details: 5,049 sqft, 5 Beds, 6 Bath
Read MoreDesign principle number one is K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid. Though the architecture on this one may err a bit on the simple side it's still so much better than those modern houses that over complicate everything with extra tiny windows and 4 different roof lines. (see the sadly defunkt @uglyaustinhouses for some prime examples)
Price: $1,199,900
Details: 2,916 sqft, 4 Beds, 5 Baths
Read MoreIt's always refreshing to see a spec build with good interior design. I love how they keep things simple with the tile choices and get creative with the lighting. This one also reminded me how much I love a walnut kitchen and a concrete floor. Such a timeless look.
Price: $515,000
Details: 1,996 sqft, 3 Beds, 3 Baths
Read MoreFinishing up this week of affordable modern home options in Austin is this modern casita. It shares something in common with most of this week's listings, its diminutive size. Living in a smaller footprint is probably the number one way to find a more affordable home. There are plenty of these casitas available and though they are a bit more costly than a traditional condo you do at least typically get a small yard.
Price: $419,000
Details: 950 sqft, 2 Bed, 2 Bath
Read MoreDepending on the location condos are typically a reliable way of getting more bang for your buck. This Michael Hsu designed two bedroom is a steal at just $350k. I usually see a few of these units on the market every year. The Brown building and Cambridge Tower are two other favorites with decent prices and a decent turn over rate.
Price: $350,000
