Saturday shelterporn

This week's shelterporn takes us to a hidden jet-era gem near Hobby Airport. If you haven't noticed, Houstonist has a thing for contemporary homes, and this one fits the bill as a classic mid-century modern. Plus, it's located in Glenbrook Valley, a classic 1950s neighborhood that we keep being told is about to really take off. Remember, you heard it here first ... unless, of course, someone's already told you about it.

The 1959 house has all the '50s modern details you'd expect: vaulted ceilings, picture windows, cove lighting, built-in cabinets and bookcases, poured terrazzo floors — even vintage light fixtures and wallpaper (the wallpaper, depending on how you look at it, could be a good or bad thing — you'll have to see for yourself). With the right furniture, this house could be a real modern showplace. And you'd never have to worry about missing your flight! Bedroom: five. Bathrooms: three and a half. Square feet: 3,972. Price: $314,900.
