A mid-century contemporary ranch time capsule in Austin, Texas

Every week, I think I’ve seen my favorite time capsule house.
But then…someone sends in a new one, and I’m in love all over again!
Camila B. aka Ms. Atomic sends this gem — she calls it “eye candy” - and rightly so - in Austin, Texas.
Yowza. I might just have to retire here! Tex-Mex and an indoor pool to boot.
Ever since the Des Moines midcentury mansion - I’ve decided I need an indoor pool! And now, introducing…Ms. Atomic:
Hi Pam,
It’s Ms. Atomic from flickr, I have to tell you that I greatly enjoy Retro Renovation! Although I am not a homeowner (yet) your abundance of information makes me feel like I could tackle a renovation project should my husband and I find that perfect atomic home. I often check Craigslist here in Northern, CA and at times other cities across the country, for wonderful MCM eye candy ; ) Well I found this gem on CL Austin, the ad reads:”This is a unique house built in 1960 by a commercial builder for his and his wife’s retirement. The house has some very nice original features, fixtures and bathroom tile. Open floorplan with knotty pine ceilings and metal and wood beams. It has been well maintained but it needs kitchen updating, painting, etc… It was built with commercial materials and quality. Addition of second story would offer views of downtown Austin and UT tower. Indoor swimming pool 32×12 with a 1/2 bathroom.”
It is quite an impressive home here is the link to the virtual tour: http://tours.tourfactory.com/tours/tour.asp?t=438427&idx=1
I am sure you’ll appreciate her original features and that sweet pool!!! At 600K I could never afford it, but she sure is sweet to look at!

Take Care,
Thank you, Ms. Atomic Camila!
