Exclusive Bayfront Estate with Private Dock, Sunrise Views & Walkable Coastal Luxury (No HOA). Positioned in one of Kemah’s most desirable locations, this home places you just steps—or a short golf cart ride—from premier dining, and live music. It’s a lifestyle few properties can offer: lively and social at the front, quiet and restorative along the water’s edge. Behind the home, a completely different world unfolds. With an east-facing orientation over Galveston Bay, each morning begins with breathtaking, unobstructed sunrises reflecting across the water. The quality of the construction is unsurpassed. Stunning entryway leads to high ceilings, kitchen opened up to two living areas, 2-sided fireplace, Thermador appliances, wet bar with wine cooler and an expansive balcony. 2nd floor bedroom makes a great office. Primary with sitting area, fireplace, walk-in closet and private balcony. 5 car garage with elevator all the way up. This is more than a home—it is a curated coastal lifestyle
