What's special

Freshly painted exteriorOpen-concept main levelWarm cedar accent wallNew roof

Tucked above the San Jacinto River, this elevated retreat trades the ordinary for something rarer: water views from nearly every room, soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a warm cedar accent wall, and a sculptural spiral staircase rising to a light-filled loft. The open-concept main level flows effortlessly onto multi-level decks that reach toward the water, built for morning coffee, sunset, and everything in between. Recently refreshed with a new roof and freshly painted exterior, the home lives clean and turnkey, while its elevated construction speaks directly to the river setting. From here, the water is your front door: boat to Kemah, Galveston, and Lake Charles without ever loading a trailer. A standout as a private getaway or investment, this is San Jacinto waterfront with genuine Gulf access.
