Property Description


0.12 Acres Lot
Built in 1960
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Beautifully reimagined Midtown bungalow with designer finishes and rare expansion potential. This updated 2-bed/1-bath home sits on an oversized lot with a welcoming south-facing front porch and abundant natural light throughout. The living and dining areas flow through a graceful archway, anchored by a custom kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and striking tilework. Spacious bedrooms include a custom closet; the spa-inspired bath offers an oversized shower and modern fixtures. Out back, a large deck is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The detached two-story structure—formerly a 3-car garage—offers incredible potential to create a guest suite, studio, or rental space. Located in Galveston’s walkable Midtown with easy access to the beach, dining, and shops. Stylish, functional, and full of opportunity—this one is truly special.
