Rundell – Stenger renovation by MJ Neal
Most certainly not a restoration but a full renovation & update of this Barton Hill Stenger home. I would love to see some before / after pictures. I seem to remember the original place being in not great shape and quiet a bit darker on the interior.
For sale – $745k. Listing website with many more pictures.
Spiller Lane – $1.4M – John Watson
Looks like this place is back on the market. So lovely. I must get out there this time to see it in person.
Also, this A-frame Stenger is either still on the market or back on the market, it is hard to tell. It makes mention of updated elements and if I remember right the prior listing didn’t have interior pictures.
1815 Dexter – AD Stenger
Great photo blog of one man’s journey remodeling an AD Stenger home. Looks like it is coming along nice and can’t wait to see it mostly finished (no home is ever ‘finished’ it seems). Above is the ‘before’ picture, I believe.
Lund St – $457k – AD Stenger
Pre-MLS listing. It will be listed in the MLS later this week.

The house has been well maintained. It has large windows that give a hill-side view into the canopy of a large live oak tree in back, and has a second live oak in front.

Linda Doughty – 472-6562 or Tony Choban – 476-5394
edit: Listing is now live in the MLS. Here for more info & pictures.
Paramount – $425k – AD Stenger
This is Chuck Voelter’s AD Stenger home in Barton Hills. I meet Chuck at a livemodern.com meet-up shortly after moving here 5 years ago. At that time I had discovered his neighborhood and the Stengers there and knew nothing about who built them; Chuck set about changing that. I still remember the pictures of the green concrete floors he uncovered as part of his restoration project.
Midcentury in the Redwoods – Daniel Liebermann
It has been slim pickings in the MLS lately. Nothing really has caught the eye, unless you count this Stenger listing which induces a desire towards violence (stucco?!?).
Instead, check out this NY Times feature on a lovely home in the Redwoods of California. Built by Daniel Liebermann, a former apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright. Slideshow here.
Almarion – $640k – Tom Shefelman
I am not familiar with Tom Shefelman but now curious. There is a another mid-century modern home on Almarion which is possibly one of my favorites in that area that bares some similarities so now I am curious to learn more
Side note: The pictures in this post are mine from about 4 years ago. They are not great by any stretch but may add to a the limited set in the MLS listing.
Brady Lane – Stenger
This was up and into ‘pending’ in a flash.
PS. Eff the Realtor for suggesting a tear down. Hopefully the buyer is better than that.
Lund – $549k – Stenger
Updated Stenger home in Barton Hills. Update will have to be mostly redone if you want it inline with the MCM period style or even current modern trends.
Volsky Residence By Charles Haertling
Not much at all new in the MLS lately, so you get this amazing house by Charles Haertling. Yes and Please.
Great write-up and more pictures at MidCentury Architecture.
2 Rollingwood Stengers
Pretty sure both these Stengers are re-listings from last year. My archives are a mess after the move to the new site so I am having a hard time digging up the old posts for reference.
Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman
This opened on last Friday, March 5th, and runs for 1 week. Sponsored by AIA Austin.
Wilt’s House
No wonder Wilt got all the ladies.
Wilt Chamberlain’s Bel-Air home. Lots more info and a ton of pictures at the MidCentury Architecture Blog.
Leonard Lundgren – 1111 31st
Leonard Lundgren build a set of homes on W 31st street overlooking Shoal Creek. A couple years ago the above home was sold after the original owner died. There was concern that the home would be lost. I often think of the home and been meaning to stop by and see what happened. Turns out it was bought updated and now is available for lease. It was available for sale at some point last fall but I missed it then.
Here are pictures of the home 2 years ago. I don’t have one that truly captures how lovely the site the home sits on.
Here are pictures of it today. (pictures by realtor)
I have to say I am pretty please that they left the home largely intact and the update is in pretty good order.

Excellent Fehr and Granger home available in Highland Park West. Looks like in the home is in good condition and ready for restoration (and hopefully not some heavy handed remodel).

Now this I know is a Stenger. There are 3-4 of this particular plan left today.
