This is not the first time I’ve shared this house and while there is a lot other love about it the 1.3M price decrease since I last shared it may be the biggest selling feature. It’s a great time to be a luxury buyer.

This absolutely gorgeous piece of architecture designed by Black Rabbit Design looks like it would be right at home in a posh suburb of Mexico City.

Really beautiful work by GCDD on this luxury home. It’s so rare to see sweeping rounded shapes in residential architecture but it gives the house such an elegant look. I really love the interior finishes as well, the warm bright esthetic is perfectly complimentary to the architecture.

It’s no secret that Alterstudio is one of my most favorite architects in Austin, and after just a few peeks into this stunning home hopefully you can see why.

I’ll forever love a good flat roofed modern home, and this one designed by architect Davey McEathron is a beauty. It’s a big one too, over 4,000 sf on a 1/4+ acre lot. It looks like they’ve gone big on the finishes as well with lots of rich colors and materials.

This effortlessly classic single story modern home is of course by the one and only Alterstudio. Overlooking the 7 million elephants in the room, this has got to be one of the most beautifully detailed homes in Austin. Spend some time appreciating all the little, yet significant details.

This absolutely stunning 2018 build really is just about as good as it gets. Sitting on nearly 2.5 acres just west of Rollingwood the home and guest house are over 4,000sf. The finishes throughout look spot on and that fireplace is absolutely jaw dropping. Anyone know the architect for this one?

I’m a total sucker for a house with a courtyard, and this one boasts some pretty fantastic outdoor spaces. I’m also a big fan of all the custom millwork, even if some of it is a tad busy on the wood grain aspect. Lots of buck here but lots of bang too.

Price: $3,750,000

Details: 3,900 sf, 5 Bed, 5 Bath

While I won’t pretend to justify the need for 9 bathrooms, I do applaud the design of this Tarrytown house. Built in 2019 and boasting nearly 7,000 square feet surely there must be something for everyone in there.

This house really puts the ledge in Ledge Mountain Dr. Hangin on the side of the mountain in Cat Mountain this updated 70’s home is a real stunner. I love the street level entrance and descending floors, each one with an epic view.

One of the most overlooked aspects of architecture is good siting. This house, perched above Shoal Creek absolutely nails it. I love how the central staircase is celebrated too. From the street the opaque glazing hints at what’s inside. Once inside the floating staircase gives way to multi story windows connecting you to the pool and back yard. Nice work DigA.

I walked through this house a few years ago on a home tour, it is truly one of one in Austin with absolutely nothing even close to it. It’s a wonderful example of Moderne architecture and if that wasn’t enough it was completely renovated under the careful eye of Dick Clark Architecture in 2014. Perfection.

Here’s some very classic modernist design from the offices of architect Don Harris. I’m a big fan of KISS (keep it simple stupid) and this timeless design is a perfect example of how it is done. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for new construction in Northwest Hills.

A new house in Zilker doesn’t come cheap these days, as is evident by this 2 million dollar unit A. It does come with some nice elements that are above and beyond the typical however like the Corten and stucco sections of the exterior facade as well as the pool.

Price: $1,995,000

Details: 2,491 sf, 4 Bed, 4 Bath

This is apparently one of the last houses in Austin designed by the legend Dick Clark. It’s has the quintessential minimal modern trademarks I think of when I think Dick Clark Architecture. Great house, great location.

Luxury houses are a tricky lot, I’ve definitely been in multi million dollar homes with finish outs that don’t reflect the price point. This is not one of those.

Last up on this week of slow market opportunities comes a legendary home that has been on and off market a lot lately.

If you are wondering the difference between a builder grade modern home and an architect designed modern home, here’s a great lesson. This project from the office of Murray Legge shows a strong focus on natural light, an indoor outdoor connection, and of course timeless finishes.

I’m not sure who has a $7M budget and is out shopping in this market, but I’m sure they’ll be elated that this 2009 Dick Clark designed home has hit the market. The house looks stunning despite being over 10 years old, with perhaps the exception of a few minor finishes that if we are being honest never looked good. Minor details in an otherwise exceptional house.
