About This Property

A rare Galveston treasure, this 1928 French manorial residence was designed by John F. Staub, the celebrated architect behind Bayou Bend and distinguished River Oaks homes. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plus a guesthouse on 4 lots graced by stately oak trees, the property pairs architectural pedigree with an exceptional island setting. Balanced proportions and timeless materials define its character. Marble tiles salvaged from Galveston's second Tremont Hotel grace the foyer and dining room, while an 1880s cast iron fence connects the grounds to an earlier chapter of island life. The gardens have their own distinguished legacy, originally designed in 1931 by noted landscape architect C. C. "Pat" Fleming, with surviving elements later restored. Reported as the first of only three Staub houses built on the island, this distinctive residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Galveston's architectural history.
