Step into a piece of Alvin history with this distinctive 1910 Victorian home, where timeless character, historic charm, and versatile living spaces come together.

Inside, you’ll find beautiful original woodwork, vintage architectural details, and craftsmanship that showcase the character of a bygone era. Adding to the home’s unique history, Texas baseball Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan once called this property home, with his signature still etched into the back driveway.
