Units n/a

Charming home facing southeast toward Galveston, situated more than halfway down Barracuda to minimize freeway noise. It features custom kitchen cabinets and spacious, comfortable bedrooms. The primary bathroom includes a 6' jetted soaking tub. In 2024, a 25-year metal bulkhead was installed. The HVAC system, replaced in 2019, is complemented by lifetime-wrapped, insulated ductwork to enhance climate control. The roof was replaced in 2018, and additional upgrades include a radiant barrier, blown insulation, and an in-house utility room. Included appliances are a washer, dryer, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and barstools. The property offers private trash pickup. The neighborhood is friendly and enjoyable, with amenities such as an area pool, pavilion with picnic areas, children's play zone, and workout spaces. Bayou Vista Police and Fire Departments are just a few streets away!
