About this home

20719 A complete, magazine-caliber renovation on rare oversized waterfront. Floor-to-ceiling black windows frame the river behind a vaulted shiplap ceiling, while a waterfall quartz island anchors a crisp white chef's kitchen with stainless appliances and wide-plank floors throughout. The primary suite delivers a double-vanity bath, a marble walk-in shower, and a custom-built walk-in closet. The showpiece: an enclosed, climate-controlled bar room opening to the river through a wall of glass — then multi-level decks wrapping the home across true bulkhead waterfront, framed by mature palms on a generous lot-and-a-half. Elevated on pilings and engineered for its riverside setting, the home is as effortless to own as it is to enjoy. From your dock, boat to Kemah, Galveston, and Lake Charles. A turnkey luxury residence and a premier short-term-rental opportunity in a pocket where finished waterfront almost never comes available

About Rio

Villa

Rio Villa, located between the San Jacinto River and Sheldon Lake, is a residential and waterfront Channelview neighborhood with boat ramps and bayou-side green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the River Road corridor near the San Jacinto River, where bait shops, small marinas, and riverfront hangouts set a working-waterway tone. Low-slung ranch homes and modest cottages sit on wide lots, with canals and drainage ditches shaping the street grid. Mornings track the river’s fog and the sound of outboards, while afternoons shift to fishing lines and porch shade. The landscape reads flat and coastal, with big skies and frequent views of water and reeds.
