You might call it The Miracle on 26th Street. For the property at 216 E. 26th Street in The Heights is composed of eight contiguous lots resulting in an exceptional spread across more than half an acre in Houston.\u00a0 The multi-residence property is hitting the market now, via listing agent Leann Salmons with Martha Turner Sotheby\u2019s International Realty.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s listing price? $3.6 million.<\/p>\n

Spread across the tree-shaded terrain of The Heights Compound are a 3,801-square-foot main house, a two-bedroom 2,217-square-foot pool house and a garage apartment. All designed with a nod to the historic neighborhood\u2019s architectural vernacular.<\/p>\n

The compound is clearly a departure from The Heights\u2019 typical smallish lot, single house profile. Yet, the facades speak to the elegance of a Victorian townhouse<\/a>. Distinctive details include sash windows, the typical steeply pitched roof and stained glass windows.<\/p>\n

The interiors feature antique wood floors, elegant millwork and a private porch for every bedroom. While the bones hint at an earlier time, the insides are all about 21st century comforts.<\/p>\n

In addition to the updated kitchen and baths, the four bedrooms and 4.5 baths in the the main house, the original structure of the property, the second floor includes a game room with a kitchen, bar and built-in wine storage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The dramatic pool house overlooking the oversized pool is larger than Houston\u2019s average apartment and fairly swank. It features two bedrooms and four bathrooms, including the two exterior country club-style full baths. Not your typical pool house, this dwelling boasts an elevator, a full kitchen, a billiard room and second floor game room. Further, the spacious covered patio offers additional living\/entertaining space.<\/p>\n

The two car garage apartment adds an additional bedroom with a full bathroom to this unordinary Houston estate\u2019s accommodations. Additional parking is available in a five car covered pavilion.<\/p>\n

Beyond the lush landscaping surrounding the pool, the grounds include a tiki-style grill and bar, a putting green, a fire pit with seating, and a lighted sport court with pickleball potential.<\/p>\n
