4902 Willbert Road

This two-story, 2,021-square-foot home was originally a smaller stone house in the 1940s, befitting its location in the historic Hancock neighborhood. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, original oak floors, and period-style lining with many modern updates. It’s on a large lot with a private backyard, mature trees, and native plants and asking $729,500.

1801 Lavaca Street

Located in Cambridge Tower, Austin’s first (and grooviest) landmark residential tower on the southern edge of Downtown, a 1,169-square-foot luxury condo with one bedroom and two bathrooms seems like a decent buy for what it’s asking ($695,000, with HOA dues of $811 per month). The perforated concrete blocks that distinguish its balconies and its huge views alone are worth it, but the penthouse unit also has updates such as bamboo floors, marble bathrooms. automatic sun shades, and built-in cabinetry.

1615 South 2nd Street, Unit 6

Designed by local firm MF Architecture, which is always doing nifty things with light, space, and modern design, this garden home is in a pretty sweet part of Bouldin Creek—especially if you’re into the South First Street, wood floors, and high-end finishes. It’s thus on the high end of this week’s price range, asking $749,900, with HOA dues of $200 per month.
