Custom waterfront home in La Porte offering exceptional craftsmanship, comfort, and coastal living. Featuring granite countertops and flooring, custom cabinets, high ceilings, abundant pantry and cabinet space, a gas-log fireplace, and a primary suite with its own bar, this home was originally commissioned for the Provost of Rice University and designed by a Rice-trained architect. Built for durability with double-paned windows, Pella doors, storm shutters, PEX plumbing, a lifetime metal roof, and an elevator, it also offers beautiful outdoor living with professional landscaping, a sprinkler system, and a spacious deck overlooking the water. The oversized garage provides ample workshop and storage space, and the location is ideal—just steps from the Houston Yacht Club and close to Pier 6, Monument Inn, Ed’s Bistro, Main 101 Grill & Bar, and Sylvan Beach Park.
