A one-of-a-kind industrial-modern home rich in Houston history. Once JR Woodson’s Lawnmower & Auto Repair (1950s–1990s), it’s now a thoughtfully converted 2-bed, 1.5-bath residence with loft space, exposed beams, soaring ceilings, and stained concrete floors. Original charm lives on in details like a vintage pocket door, black exterior, and clam shells in the entry planter—nods to the city's past. A striking mural by artist Mel Eason (2019) welcomes you in. The open layout flows into a light-filled, custom kitchen (updated 2018). The backyard, with turf and gravel (2019), once hosted Sofar music nights. The primary suite offers a smart closet and spa-style bath (2023) with freestanding tub and herringbone-tiled shower. The loft fits a queen bed and has a rolling ladder, perfect for guests or play. Roof (2017), AC (2021), new windows/exterior paint (2021). This home is more than a place to live—it’s a piece of local history with soul, intention, and a design that invites you to stay.
