Property Description
Circa 1904, Landmarked home in the San Jac Conservation District. This one bedroom one bath bungalow served as a commissary for workers building Galveston's Seawall in the early 1900's. Located within hollerin' distance of the beach. For decades, 1203 and her sister 1201 have been owned individually by an inseparable couple of friends and the grounds are maintained as a compound, each sharing access and greenspace with the other. In recent years, the addition of the back gardens truly made the property magical. The bungalow is all electric with minisplits and LVP flooring. High ceilings and great windows have it feeling bigger than it is on paper! Below, is a workshop, storage, laundry and a tiny bonus room with half bath. Please contact the listing agent with any questions re: back garden and/or 1201 Ave L as they are not listed for sale.
