About 6998 Commander Roland Drive
Step into a rare piece of Texas history with this beautifully restored 1942 historic estate on 6.802 acres at the former WWII Naval Blimp Base. Once the Chief Surgeon's residence, this unique home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. Per the previous owner, the home was renovated down to the studs while preserving its original craftsmanship. Original wood floors remain throughout many living areas, and the upstairs bath features its original honeycomb tile. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home is framed by two oak trees that are over 100 years old and eligible for registration. Enjoy city utilities, no mandatory HOA, easy access to I-45 South, and nearby shopping and dining. For added peace of mind, the home did not flood during Hurricane Ike (2008) or Hurricane Harvey (2017). Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable historic property.
