522 James St, Tomball, TX 77375

Inspired by Historic Old Town Tomball, this approximately 2,145-square-foot home combines timeless architectural character with the efficiency, craftsmanship and luxury finishes of modern construction. Built in 2021, the home was thoughtfully designed to complement its historic surroundings while offering the comfort and performance of a new build. An additional approximately 541 square feet of covered and screened porches brings the combined indoor and covered outdoor living space to nearly 2,700 square feet. These generous outdoor spaces are made for entertaining, morning coffee, evening gatherings and enjoying the atmosphere of Old Town. The home was constructed with durability and efficiency in mind, including extensive spray-foam insulation throughout, beneath the home, and between the first and second floors, along with a metal roof and an engineered helical-pier foundation system. The sellers report electric bills typically below approximately $400 per month. What truly sets this property apart, however, is the Old Town Tomball lifestyle. Step outside your front door and experience one of the Houston area's most charming historic town centers on foot, bike or cart. Locally owned boutiques, bookstores, bakeries, coffee shops, restaurants, breweries and antique shops are all part of the neighborhood, with Tomball's popular festivals, markets and community events happening just down the street. It's a rare opportunity to enjoy the walkability and personality of a small historic Texas town while remaining connected to the amenities and opportunities of the greater Houston metropolitan area. The offering becomes even more distinctive with the adjoining 526 James Street parcel. Together, 522 and 526 James Street comprise two contiguous 7,500-square-foot parcels totaling approximately 15,000 square feet, or 0.344 acre, providing exceptional space and flexibility in the heart of Old Town. An added advantage: the alley has already been professionally engineered, with approximately $6,000 in planning and engineering work completed—giving the next owner a valuable head start should they choose to move forward with the improvement. The property’s Old Town setting also provides opportunities for a home office, small business or future mixed-use possibilities. It’s a rare combination of luxury, land, walkability and authentic Old Town character—right in the heart of one of Tomball’s most sought-after settings.
