20719 A complete, magazine-caliber renovation on rare oversized waterfront. Floor-to-ceiling black windows frame the river behind a vaulted shiplap ceiling, while a waterfall quartz island anchors a crisp white chef's kitchen with stainless appliances and wide-plank floors throughout. The primary suite delivers a double-vanity bath, a marble walk-in shower, and a custom-built walk-in closet.
The showpiece: an enclosed, climate-controlled bar room opening to the river through a wall of glass — then multi-level decks wrapping the home across true bulkhead waterfront, framed by mature palms on a generous lot-and-a-half. Elevated on pilings and engineered for its riverside setting, the home is as effortless to own as it is to enjoy.
From your dock, boat to Kemah, Galveston, and Lake Charles. A turnkey luxury residence and a premier short-term-rental opportunity in a pocket where finished waterfront almost never comes available
