Property Overview
About 217 Port St Claire
It began with a vision. A family who loved the sea wanted a home that would reflect their passion for sailing, a place where art and function could exist side- by-side. They turned to architect David Richter, whose work also gave life to the Rockport Center for the Arts, and together they imagined something extraordinary. 217 Port St Claire rose from that dream, designed to echo a ship passing a lighthouse, a symbol of a safe harbor. From the canal, where two large vessels can rest and a lift holds a smaller bay boat, the home announces itself as a sailor's refuge. Step inside and the story unfolds level by level. The first floor welcomes with a sunroom awash in light, a place for laughter, storage tucked neatly away, and a wet bar ready for evenings that spill out to the veranda and the pool. Guests have their own private quarters here, a suite designed for comfort after a day on the water. Upstairs, the mood shifts. Raftered ceilings soar above, coral chandeliers glow softly, and exposed ductwork recalls smokestacks at sea. A fireplace anchors the living area while warm wood floors carry you through a kitchen, dining, and lounge that all open to sweeping water views. Down the hall, two bedrooms with Juliet balconies wait for breezes and quiet conversations, with a full bath close at hand. The top level belongs to the captain and his first mate. A bonus room offers space for work, rest, or play. The suite itself is a retreat; a sanctuary with a soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower, its bedroom a haven with a private balcony, a hidden drop-down television, and a fireplace for stormy nights. Even the garage tells part of the tale: climate-controlled, oversized, with a shower, and half-bath to wash away the sea before stepping inside. 217 Port St Claire is more than a residence. It is the story of a family's love for the ocean, captured in wood, light, and water, now ready for its next chapter. Adjacent lot is also available with the purchase of this listing.

Before you make an offer
Ask for windstorm certificates on the roof, windows and any additions; San Patricio and Aransas are coastal windstorm counties. Check the flood zone and ask for an elevation certificate, especially near the bays and canals. On canal and waterfront homes, have the dock, boat lift and shoreline structures inspected, and ask about canal depth at low water. In Rockport, ask for permits and repair records on homes rebuilt after Hurricane Harvey. If you plan to rent the home out, check the city's short-term rental rules and any HOA rules first. Outside city limits, confirm whether the home is on sewer or septic.
Windstorm insurance and flood zones vary by property; Marci can point you to the right specialist. This isn't insurance or legal advice.
Good to know
Winter and spring northers can push water out of the shallow bays and canals for days, dropping levels well below normal. Waterfront buyers should ask about canal depth at low water before counting on year-round boat access.
