Welcome to 1927 Broadway Street in Galveston's East End Historic District! This fully fenced Victorian-style beauty was built in 1895 and has withstood the Great Storm of 1900, as well as the test of time.
When the Great Storm of 1900 arrived almost without warning, much of Galveston Island was decimated. This plaque represents a testament to the resilience of Galveston's built history and the community of people to which it still serves.
History offers several explanations for the meaning of a red door on a home of this age. One common implication is as a "welcome" sign for weary horse & buggy travelers to spend the night and another meaning was to signal that the home's mortgage had been paid in full.
Inside 2328 Broadway, you'll find a collaboration of the historic charm of original details combined with modern conveniences that include central air conditioning and heat, a whole home security system, and updated plumbing and electrical wiring.
From the covered front porch, step through the solid wood door with a decorative leaded glass insert and take a step back in time into this foyer with the original hardwood floors, a stained glass light fixture, and the staircase straight ahead.
The formal living space in the home is located just inside the front door. Notice the oversized crown molding and floorboards, beautiful original door casings, transom window, wood floors, lighted ceiling fan with a ceiling medallion, and pocket door access to the adjacent library/den.
If walls could talk! Many significant conversations have surely transpired in this alcove of the living room that is bathed in sunlight streaming in through beautifully cased bay windows that overlook Broadway in the East End Historic District.
Guests who were well known to the family may have been invited into the more casual and intimate family room that undoubtedly also served as a library, with its walls lined with custom-built shelving and cabinetry with trim that coordinates with the door casings.
An alternate view of the family room highlights the handsome long leaf pine wood flooring, ornate ceiling medallion with a lighted fan suspended from it, and beautifully cased windows and doors with an original transom window above the door.
To the right of the foyer and opposite the formal living room, this inviting dining room hosts exotic hardwood floors, original crown molding and trim work, a built-in corner nook, and an abundance of light shining in through numerous cased windows.
Tucked near the rear of the home, with direct access to the dining room and back door, this kitchen features an abundance of cabinetry topped by classic white tile countertops. You'll even find a wine storage rack built-in!
Modern conveniences make cooking far more simple than it was when this home was constructed! In today's kitchen, you'll find a 4 burner gas cooktop with downdraft and indoor grill, double ovens, a dishwasher, and a cast iron sink with a gooseneck faucet.
With all bedrooms being on the upper levels, it is rare to find a home with a first-floor bathroom! This half bathroom with a pedestal sink is tucked between the kitchen and family room, near the entrance from the rear porch.
The original staircase with wood treads, white balusters, and ornately carved newel posts leads up from the foyer to this second-floor landing that hosts long leaf pine floors along with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Just off of the second-floor landing, you'll enter this charming bedroom that boasts long leaf pine wood floors, neutral paint, and crisp white moldings that frame the numerous windows that encircle the room.
This charming bathroom services the secondary bedrooms, featuring a dresser-style vanity with dual basin sinks, a period-specific ornately framed mirror, tile floors, and a separate room with a cast iron clawfoot bathtub.
Large walk-in closets are a luxury and this home has them! Be sure to check behind ever door!
Another secondary bedroom is adjacent to the previous room and just outside the door of the full bathroom. This bedroom offers a lighted ceiling fan, continued wood floors, ornately cased windows, and an original transom window above the door.
Also located on the second floor, this space is truly a master retreat, boasting a cozy bedroom with an additional parlor area with long leaf pine wood floors, neutral paint, and a lighted ceiling fan.
Original pocket doors trimmed with ornate moldings create separation between the master suite and the parlor, where you'll note high ceilings, a roomy closet, a lighted ceiling fan, and beautifully cased bay windows that bathe the room in natural light.
An en suite master bathroom is a pretty extraordinary extravagance in a home from 1895, but this home has one! It features a pedestal sink, hexagonal tile floors, a walk-in shower, and a large built-in cabinet for storage.
The walk-in shower showcases a timeless subway tile finish that complements the hexagonal tile floors. A window above adds natural light to this bathroom.
Secluded on the third floor, this air-conditioned multi-use space makes for a great game room or sleepover space! Here, you'll find a peaked ceiling with a lighted ceiling fan, track lighting, Berber carpet, original windows, and built-in storage along the outside walls,
Step out the back door to this L-shaped veranda that's the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening cocktail while the salty sea breeze dances around.
