There is a lot that makes the home at 3308 St. Emanuel Street special. This beautiful, modern home seems to float above the Third Ward, an embodiment of the area itself, which captures the essence of an urban downtown skyline and a traditional residential neighborhood.
It’s listed at $1.1 million and represented by Laurie King and The Monroe and Warrell Team of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty.
Designed by architect Ronnie Self, this unique home celebrates the relationship between architecture, nature, and urban life. The two-bedroom, one-bath house has more than 1,800 square feet of living space, and effortlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Step behind a gate surrounded by greenery to see the full expanse of 3308 St. Emanuel St.
Inside, find floor-to-ceiling windows that offer an expansive view of downtown from the main living areas. The bedrooms overlook a garden of native plants. Stunning built-ins and an open living plan give owners options for how to customize their space for working, entertaining, and relaxing. The galley kitchen makes excellent use of the space, seeming to mesh amid the home’s main staircase and offering tree line views.
The space underneath this floating beauty is perfect for outdoor entertaining, as is the wide, open rooftop patio with its panoramic views of downtown. The home’s cantilevered slab references nearby elevated freeway ramps, creating a sense of continuity with the surrounding infrastructure while establishing a sense of place within a larger urban context.
This is a home that is modern, unique, and brings a true contemporary spirit to one of Houston’s iconic neighborhoods without compromising the Third Ward’s classic appeal. If being close to everything the city has to offer and living in a space that feels unlike other Houston homes is a must-have, then 3308 St. Emanuel is more than worth a look.
