About This Home
Great new price on a wonderful 1935 brick bungalow located in the Palm Gardens neighborhood of Galveston. Ideal mid-town location, several blocks from Broadway meaning easy access to the downtown area & to I45 if you are heading north to Houston, also a short drive to Seawall Blvd to enjoy all the beach has to offer. The home is mostly original with hardwood floors, original tiled bathroom, front parlor, dining room, two bedrooms and a large two car detached garage with a nice green space for a garden in the backyard. Driveway & parking pad in front of the detached garage ideal for multiple vehicles, storing a boat or an RV. The front porch is inviting you to sit back and enjoy the neighborhood while the back yard is insisting on a BBQ/Picnic area! This is a true diamond in the rough awaiting your final touches to introduce modern features and enhance the character of this bungalow.
