5419 Gulfton Street G

Nothing else in Houston looks like this. Tucked behind a wood fence in a private enclave of eleven homes, this steel-clad industrial residence trades cookie-cutter finishes for character: corrugated galvanized walls, reclaimed timber posts, plank ceilings and vintage architectural salvage throughout. Gleaming hardwoods run through the light-filled living and dining areas, where a wall of windows frames mature oak canopy and a stone-surround mantel anchors the room beneath stained-glass accents. The open kitchen is a showpiece with slate counters and backsplash, bold cabinetry, butcher-block island, hanging pot rack and stainless appliances. Baths are finished in floor-to-ceiling multi-color slate under vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows and barnwood accents. Outside, a private fenced yard with deck and string lights. Blocks from Burnett Bayland Park, minutes to Bellaire dining, the Galleria, Rice and the Medical Center, with 610, 59 and Westpark close by. Two-year minimum lease.
