Property Overview
About 851 Oak Ave
Lovingly cared for by the same owners since 1994, this special property is ready to welcome its next chapter! Situated on a spacious corner lot just outside Rockport city limits, this home offers a little extra breathing room, beautiful scattered oak trees, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. The generous 16,248 sq. ft. (0.37-acre) lot provides space to spread out, garden, store your extras, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a surprisingly generous amount of storage, including cedar-lined closets in all bedrooms and the hallway. Out back, you'll appreciate the 2-car garage, two storage sheds, and a working water well for irrigation. The owners have also taken care of several important updates and practical features, including an HVAC system installed in August 2026, a new septic system in 2025, vinyl windows, aluminum fascia, vinyl soffit, rain gutters, and a gas water heater, range, and furnace. Even better, the refrigerator, washer and dryer will convey with the sale! Coastal living means being prepared, and this home makes storm preparation a little easier with window shutters already in place and a convenient shutter for the sliding glass patio door. There's a lot to appreciate here, from the established oak trees and oversized lot to the thoughtful features and years of loving care. Properties like this have a charm all their own, and now it's ready for someone new to make it theirs. Come see the possibilities, fall in love with the setting, and imagine making this one your own!

Before you make an offer
Ask for permits and engineering records on homes rebuilt or repaired after Hurricane Harvey in 2017, along with windstorm certificates (WPI-8) for roofs, windows and structural work. Check the FEMA flood zone (AE or VE) and ask for an elevation certificate. On canal properties, have the dock, boat lift and shoreline structures inspected and check water depth at low tide. If you plan to rent the home out, check municipal and POA short-term rental rules first, and confirm whether unincorporated lots use city 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
Strong winter and spring cold fronts ('northers') can push water out of Aransas and Copano bays for a day or two at a time, lowering canal levels well below normal tide.
