4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 3 car garage, on a 49,223 sq.ft. lot
This home has graced the Port Aransas scene since 1975. It is a one of a kind property situated high upon a natural dune about 2000 feet from the Gulf and the Pier. The property boasts one of the highest residential vantage points on the island from its 35 foot observation tower on top of the 20ft. dune. This is old world charm at its best. There is nothing flashy here, just richly understated elegance that flows from one room to another like the waves. Gardens, grottos and a 20 by 40 foot salt water pool are surrounded by decks and patios. A second floor balcony overlooking the gulf runs the entire length of the house. The woodwork making up the shutters, balconies, decks and tower are substantial and artistic. There is a 1000 square foot 3 car garage, but if that isn't enough you can park 25 cars off street in the drive. The home is an entertainers dream. Every room has more than one way in and out of it and the gourmet kitchen oversees all of the living spaces from its central position. Port Aransas can be overwhelmed with people on a festival weekend and you would never know it from inside this compound. Privacy is the hallmark of the way it is designed. This home has changed owners twice in 35 years and now is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this distinctive property in Texas' most popular coastal retreat.
