Property Description
A rare opportunity to restore one of Port Lavaca's most architecturally significant waterfront homes. Built in 1963 for Dr. York Lancaster, this iconic Mid-Century Modern design residence is set on two acres overlooking Lavaca Bay. This 4,835-square-foot home showcases walls of glass, sweeping bay views, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, an oversized red entry door, floating staircase, great room, dining room, office, and a spacious kitchen with two refrigerators and abundant storage. A custom dressing room offers the flexibility to convert back to an additional bedroom. The wooded grounds include a swimming pool, circular drive, porte-cochere, and a detached 1,250-square-foot guest house with central A/C and a full bath. This is a rare opportunity to restore an architectural landmark, create an extraordinary waterfront estate, and preserve a remarkable piece of Port Lavaca history.
