For Sale - $1.5M - Balcones
You may remember the picture set of this house from about year ago. I was over today to see the update and will be putting up a new set of pictures in the next few days. As you can see from here, much of the original was preserved.

Modern Homes Tour
Just a reminder, this Sunday there is a modern homes tour. It is a bit different in that it focuses on homes that are on the market.
Here is the listing of all the homes. A few catch the eye, like the Cottam Hargrave and the new Ma Modulars from KRDB.

For Sale - $797k - MCM in Barton Hills
From the listing site:
This Mid Century Modern masterpiece was lovingly renovated and expanded to the Ideals of the Mid Century Modern Original Theory.
They were free thinkers and their homes were the cutting edge of technology. They had built in Television Wiring and Air Conditioning.
The Barton Hills subdivision was the “Parade of Homes” Tour in 1956 and
their claim to fame was the first all air conditioned subdivision… and the area was the first City of Austin Incorporated area South of the Colorado River, history in the making!

For Sale - $159k - Jordan Park
This was posted this past summer when it was FSBO (at least I think so), but the price drop is large enough to warrant a renewed listing. The Jordan Park area has some great MCM homes, while some need love, this one has already has a fair amount of updating.
