Beautifully updated, this 3BR/2.5BA home presents a modern basecamp within a short walk of The Strand and downtown Galveston’s historic sites.

The convenient location keeps you close to a plethora of shops and restaurants as well as boat charters on the channel. Hop on the historic trolley just 2 blocks away for easy transport to Moody Gardens at the Seawall Beach Loop and shopping/dining at the historic Downtown Loop.
