The Lease You Could Do: Rice Military Tin House

5421 Dickson St., Rice Military, Houston

Remember when it looked like the entire West End was going to go . . . metal? It was going to be the Tin House District: Hot young architects inserting daring steel-sided homes between ramshackle bungalows . . . with great sensitivity to the sleepy little neighborhood.

Here’s a Rice Military home Natalye Appel designed for Sarah Balinskas in 1992. And it’s for lease! Have a peek inside . . .

  • Wasn’t this house on the market for sale about a year ago?

  • Leaving everything else about this house aside for a moment: I am totally in love with their stained concrete floors and stainless steel shower. Wow. Love, love, love.

  • We visited about a month ago, great spaces however the kitchen really needed a bit of work. It was also just a little too open plan. None of the interior walls run to the ceiling so in effect the guest, master bedroom and bathroom are connected. It really depends upon whether you expect many guests. The garden was great! Despite the history in MHO it isn’t worth $3000 a month.
