This charming historic home offers a comfortable layout that perfectly blends together modern convenience with the unique character of a bygone era.

A full bathroom on the second floor conveniently serves all the upstairs bedrooms.
After a day of exploring the beach or the Strand District, unwind on the inviting backyard patio with comfortable seating – the perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing beverage, a delicious meal, or simply relax under the Texas sky.
