Sweet House Dreams: 1900 "Castle" in Corpus Christi, Texas

This fascinating house is back on the market. Still not sure what style it is, so if you know, leave me a comment. The previous listing called in a "Gingerbread Castle", which is a good description, but not an architectural style. It looks to me like a transitional using Victorian and Tudor influences.

You will notice some before and after pictures in this listing because between October and February, additional changes have been made. Unfortunately, those changes included replacing the very cool entry door, replacing the dining room windows and painting wood, including the dining room built-ins. Ugh. The last time this was on the market, I tried to find pictures of what the house looked like when it sold in 2015, but to no avail. If anyone has picture of the before, before, I would love to see them.

PREVIOUS LISTING DETAILS

The "Gingerbread Castle" may be the best way to describe this property that sits only a few minute walk from Ocean Drive. Stained glass windows, a door from the 1800's and a modernized kitchen make this one of Corpus Christi most amazing homes. The light from the beautiful over 9 foot stained glass window creates an effect like no other on the period hardwood floors. Kitchen updates included a five figure Viking Appliance package, new Cambria Quartz counter-tops and a farmhouse sink. The kitchen is beautiful and functional. The master suite was recently remodeled to elevate the bath to a truly elegant feel. The guest baths upstairs and downstairs have both been modernized with great appeal. The two a/c system has been recently replaced. Over the garage you'll discover a great apartment that has a full bath and a mini-split a/c that is the perfect office or guest suite. The charm of yesteryear and the elements of modern times create a one of a kind property in Corpus.
