1315 17th St, Galveston

This well-appointed, east-facing coastal cottage is proof that good things come in small packages. Located in the historical district of San Jacinto/Lost Bayou, this house is steps to the beach and walkable to many restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, and more. Light and bright, this home is a great getaway place, perfect for entertaining (indoors and outdoors), and has been a successful short-term rental on Airbnb too. Complete renovation in 2018 included updated plumbing and electrical, new HVAC and appliances, and refinished original floors and vintage doors throughout. Listing sq ft doesn’t include the downstairs (created in 2020), which adds a separate living area with its own AC system, kitchenette, bedroom, 1/2 bath, heated outdoor shower, and a garage/storage space for your beach stuff, bicycles, and lawn equipment. Fenced yards (front and back) include garden beds, a chicken coup, and room for a hot tub. Large concrete driveway, plus plenty of free street parking in front.
