Residence

atop some of the highest dunes in Port Aransas. Custom
designed & built by Corpus Christi architect Don Grassino in 1966
for a professional couple and their family, the post mid-century modern
estate has been well maintained and the original family is now offering
it for sale for the first time.

The
neighborhood
Neighborhood from the wrap
around porch
Back of the house, high on
the dune.
The home is surrounded by large grass areas and dunes.
The home is near the little chapel on
the hill. Houses in this area are generally spacious, sited on
larger parcels. They are almost universally custom construction,
in numerous styles. The immediate neighborhood is of larger,
estate acreage, atop a secondary dune ridge. Some are primary
residences & others are second homes; most have servant’s or
guest quarters. The block is zoned R-2, but very few homes are
rented, either full-time or part-time. The neighborhood is quiet
& tranquil, understated elegance, and at once, both stately and
casual. Infill development has been of a large and substantial
nature.
There
are no deed restrictions nor home owner association fees, special
assessments, committees or oversight beyond that of the City. You own the land your house sits on, and you
are free to enjoy, maintain or renovate your property as you see fit.
Other
distinguishing features of this home are -
The
coastal contemporary interior is saturated with natural light, in
a neutral palette
Subtle blending of rich, traditional woods with tile and other
eco-friendly materials
Abundant, mature native and naturalized landscaping, including dune
grasses and sea oats - xeriscaped
Foyer entrance and split-level living maintain maximum privacy within
the home
Water well for your plants
All electric with gas line available at the street
Central heat and air
Both covered and open wrapped porch, affording spectacular sunrise and
sunset views
The high elevation may keep insurance premiums much lower than most
homes currently on the market
In addition to superior aesthetic qualites present in this home,
superior construction methods were employed.
Sturdy concrete requires little maintenance
Bronze screening
Shade boxes keep direct sunlight off of windows
One-of-a-kind hand-made, antique furnishings, made by the family's
