Overview

§ 01

NEVER LIVED IN BAYFRONT SHOWPLACE where bold architecture, direct boating access and sunset views come together on a 0.38-acre lot. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence creates a memorable first impression with 20-foot ceilings, a sculptural staircase and a wall of windows framing the water. The open living, dining and chef's kitchen make entertaining effortless with quartz counters, stainless appliances, gas cooking, soft-close cabinetry and a butler's pantry. The first-floor primary suite offers deck access and a spa-inspired bath, while bay-facing upstairs bedrooms enjoy balcony access and sweeping views. Covered porches and an upper balcony invite morning coffee and golden-hour gatherings. Artificial turf and mature palms keep the large fenced yard polished with minimal upkeep. A private pier and boat slip put fishing, cruising and spontaneous days on the water just beyond your door. Abundant parking, garage space and NO HOA complete this exceptional Galveston retreat.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
