This 1900 Storm Survivor, built in 1897 by Capt. Louis Best, is an absolute gem! Capt. Best arrived in Galveston from Germany with his parents and seven siblings in 1845 at just six years old. As you tour the home, you'll see many of the original architectural features, trim, moldings, pocket doors and hardware. In addition, it still has the original long leaf pine hardwood floors! The home comes fully furnished, including gorgeous antique pieces throughout. There is a sleeper sofa in the living room & an upstairs sleeper love seat. The kitchen offers fabulous work space, and cabinetry that includes pull out drawers and shelves. Per sellers, the home was rewired and re-plumbed after Ike. It has been a successful vacation rental with guests commenting on the ideal LOCATION just blocks from the Strand and award-winning restaurants, as well as the marina! They also love the proximity to Pleasure Pier and the seawall! Others comment about the welcoming and cozy, relaxing feel.
