1435 Rutland Street
Some homes are lived in, others are celebrated. 1435 Rutland is both. Designed by award-winning architect Gary Eades and reimagined in 2022 by Sara Eliason, this landmark property has been recognized in the Houston Architectural Guide (3rd ed.) for its Postmodern Victorian design. Set on a rare, wide street shaded by mature trees, the home offers an uncommon sense of space, privacy, and presence. Blending historic character with modern luxury, the residence enjoys close proximity to some of Houston’s best restaurants, coffee shops, hike and bike trails, and boutique retail. Architectural highlights include a dramatic glass curtain wall, a turret study bathed in natural light, sculptural staircases, and salvaged elements with provenance—from reclaimed beams of the Houston Arboretum to wood floors once laid at Fort Sam Houston. Designer updates elevate the opened interiors with Calacatta marble and natural stone surfaces, architectural paneling, curated lighting, and refined finishes. Beyond the main residence, a newly constructed ±1,100 SF guest retreat with full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and ensuite provides versatility for multigenerational living, extended guests, or a private studio. Outdoors, four distinct living areas unfold like garden rooms: a chef’s garden with raised planters, a Tulum-inspired front porch, shaded retreats for quiet reflection, and inviting spaces for golden-hour gatherings. Homes of this caliber are not built twice.
