Home Details
Introducing 1428 Ball, the first post-Victorian house in Galveston, as noted in the Galveston Architecture Guidebook. Completed just before the 1900 Storm, the Michael W. Shaw house stands proudly in the heart of the East End Historic District. This property is a harmonious blend of historical charm and modern amenities, featuring a delightful carriage house. The stately main house boasts 5 bedrooms, a 6th flex room, 3.5 baths, a contemporary kitchen, a butler's pantry, indoor laundry space, and 8 fireplaces. Original features such as moldings, flooring, and a Galveston-style above-grade basement enhance its charm. Large closets and ample storage provide convenience, while the side entry from the garage to the kitchen ensures easy, modern living. The carriage house offers potential for income or guest accommodations. Property is subject to Design Standards for Historic Properties. With an abundance of unique features, this property is a must-see. Several photos are virtually staged.
