About 1301 Church Street
Own a piece of Galveston history with this beautifully preserved East End estate featuring two historic homes on a spacious corner lot. Built in 1870 and a survivor of the 1900 Storm, the main residence blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates, including a beautifully renovated kitchen, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces. The fully furnished circa 1915 guest cottage, relocated from the Strand Historic District, is currently operating as a successful short-term rental, offering outstanding income potential. Recent improvements include a new roof and gutters, a new electrical panel with generator hookup, spray-foam insulation, and new under-house ductwork. Ideally located within walking distance to UTMB and just minutes from the beach, the Strand, restaurants, and cruise terminals, this rare property offers the perfect blend of historic charm, thoughtful updates, and exceptional investment potential.
