Among the best locations in Bayou Vista, this waterfront property offers the rare combination of canal frontage and unobstructed estuary views/access of Galveston Bay. Enjoy peaceful, wide-open water vistas from the estuary side, while also having protected canal access with a boat lift for easy days on the water. An expansive deck stretches from the house out over the boat lift-perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or taking in the coastal breeze. Fish, crab, or kayak from either side of the property (bay side or canal side). The fenced yard and downstairs patio offer convenience for pets and outdoor living. Upstairs, the open living area is filled with natural light, and the breakfast nook and two bedrooms feature double doors that open to the estuary, capturing the views and breeze. The layout includes three bedrooms, including a primary suite, plus a flexible nook off the living area ideal for bunk beds, a study, or additional sleeping space. Downstairs offers additional enclosed space with a full bath and mini-split system, providing versatility for guests, recreation, or storage (buyer to verify permitted uses and compliance with applicable regulations). Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, this property delivers a unique waterfront setting where location truly stands apart.
