Property Description
The Tavary House, built in 1933 by Italian immigrant Raymond Tavary, is a Baytown treasure—restored to its original grandeur and thoughtfully updated by only its third owners. Curb appeal stuns with a circle drive, mature live oaks, plantation shutters, and masterfully unique stonework. Inside, original elements including the front door, plaster crown moulding, and sunroom shutters speak to a level of craftsmanship seldom seen today. A rare feature, the Tavary House boasts one of the only area homes with a basement—centrally heated and cooled, with space for a workshop and generous storage. Recently renovations include a chef's kitchen boasting high-end appliances, large spa-like downstairs bath, and large laundry/mud room. All new energy-efficient windows throughout and 6-year old roof with 40-yr shingles. Zoned for mixed use and located near businesses, dental offices, and a church—this property presents a rare opportunity for residential or commercial vision.
