About 916 E. James Street

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.

School information is generated by the most current available data we have. However, as school boundary maps can change, and schools can get too crowded (whereby students zoned to a school may not be able to attend in a given year if they are not registered in time), you need to independently verify and confirm enrollment and all related information directly with the school.
