About This Home

As of March 2025

A must-see historic home on Galveston Island! This wonderfully unique home which sits on a grand corner lot boast 3 beds & 2.5 baths in the main home plus a large garage apartment suite. Built to last in 1915 with tons of character throughout. The kitchen is recently updated with beautiful finishing touches including a very large pantry. Original hardwood floors throughout! Plus, a spacious wrap around balcony and front porch to take in the gulf breeze.
The backyard couldn't be more private thanks to a specially permitted 12 ft fence. The porch includes a recently installed Palapa that's perfect for entertaining and shade. The large 3 CAR GARAGE offers endless possibilities. Plenty of street parking available!
The apartment has a full kitchen with a spacious living room and bedroom. Great opportunity for a separate rental that even has a private entrance. Absolutely wonderful location within walking distance to the Seawall and a Trolly stop that takes you right to the Strand.
