Description
The 1886 James J. Sewall cottage is the oldest house on the block. 27 years ago the home was rescued and renovated. The restoration is credited with helping spur renovation efforts in the neighborhood. It was on the GHF Homes Tour in 1999. Since then, there have only been 2 add’l owners. The current owners have added their own updates as well as creating an outside oasis w/ lush lanscaping & gardens. This updated historic home is located in the lovely Lost Bayou Historic neighborhood,which is close & convenient to everything Galveston offers. The main floor boasts a large living /dining room & the primary bedroom w/large walk-in closet. There are 2 bedrooms and a den on lower level. Large rear deck & front & rear porches are perfect for catching gulf breezes. Plenty of light & great storage space throughout. It is a great place to entertain with an 8×8 wet bar and covered spaces outside, the hot tub outback conveys. 2 car garage accessed from the alley provides off street parking.
