Step into Galveston history, a fully restored Victorian masterpiece in the heart of the East End Historic District. Built circa 1886, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends historic character with modern luxury. Original long-leaf pine floors, pocket doors, and floor-to-ceiling windows preserve the home's timeless charm, while modern renovations make it ideal for today's lifestyle. The expanded chef's kitchen features Dekton countertops, custom cabinetry, and an open-concept design. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired bathroom and oversized custom walk-in closet. A fully renovated garage apartment with full bath provides flexibility as a guest suite, office, or STR space. Additional highlights include a garage, golf cart garage, Level 2 EV charger, luxury landscaping, and a turfed backyard with a pergola, daybed, and lounge area. Rarely does a home offer this level of historic character, modern luxury, and East End charm—all just moments from the best of Galveston living.
