I hadn’t seen this place above before but it is pretty fly. Love the windows and exposed beams.
Shoalmont - $399k - 3:30pm to 5pm
Frank De Groot designed house. The listing is brand new so it may take a day for the MLS to update with more info.
(Updated link since austinhomesearch.com is teh suck and broke the prior search.)
There are others which have been repeat open house listings but I tend to stop with them week after week.

AIA Austin Tour. I heard recently this is the biggest (or one of the biggest) tours in the country. Shows the interested and love for good design here in Austin.
Oct 4th
Garden Conservancy Open Days. You may be surprised to find that you’ll be more likely to find me at one of these gardens than the AIA tour.

Things are slow on the local front, so I take you to the NY Times photo gallery and this article on interior gardens in apartments. I love the inside garden. I used to have a loft in Seattle that had huge plants and even a 8′ by 4′ pond. I loved it, though we had to move out when the landlord refused to fix the heat during the winter. That sucked.
After that place we embarked on our move every 9-12 month phase that last until very recently. Moving isn’t good for the plants or gardening so we pretty much are are square one now as we start in our new place.
Anyhow, link to the article: Garden Apartment

This place has been on the market for some time now. I went over to it during the summer and I have to say, the house itself is very lovely and sits on a nice city lot. The street that it is one also has another nice MCM home that was sold last year. I think this come could be a real gem, though I very well don’t think they’ll ever get that price.
The downside, which I am sure many would love to point out, is the location. For those out of town, some locals seem very afraid of all of East Austin and think of it as the ghetto. It isn’t (save perhaps a handful of streets) compared to every other urban city I’ve been to or lived in, but we are still a bit small town here on some things. That gives Austin some of its charm but also can be annoying at times.

Seems that MetroHouse is having a harder time moving some of their properties and are now offering a few for rent.
There are 4 listed currently and can be seen at their website: metrohouseaustin.com (sorry, annoying flash site means no direct links).
Of those for lease is this one:
I like this place, especially that big screened in area. You can still buy it (or the one next door, not sure about which is which) for about $570k or lease it for $2,850/m.
