Dubbed by its listing “the best home under $1 million in central Austin,” this fully updated Cherrywood mid-century modern makes the claim tough to challenge. Its combined classic red brick, light wash wood flooring and cabinetry, high ceilings, abundant natural light, and big backyard make a bargain of its million-dollar price tag. Plus, it’s mere steps away from Mueller’s many parks, restaurants, pools, movie theaters, and Austin’s beloved Texas Farmers’ Market.
