Raised Gulf Coast Cottage in Galveston, TX

The 1886 James J. Sewall cottage is the oldest house on the block in its historic neighborhood on Galveston Island in Texas. Twenty seven 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 two additional owners. The current owners have added their own updates as well as creating an outside oasis with lush lanscaping and gardens. This updated historic home is located in the lovely Lost Bayou Historic neighborhood,which is close and convenient to everything Galveston offers. The main floor boasts a large living /dining room and the primary bedroom with large walk-in closet. There are two bedrooms and a den on lower level. Large rear deck and front and rear porches are perfect for catching gulf breezes. Plenty of light and 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. Two car garage accessed from the alley provides off street parking.
