About 1620 Sealy Street

This is a rare opportunity to own this 1896 Colonial Victorian Revival! Listed on the National Historic Registry, this beauty, known as the Louis Marx House, is located in the East End Historic District and has been restored and updated! Blending historic charm with modern conveniences, this home features the original fretwork, woodwork, windows and upper and lower galleries, while boasting modern finishes in the kitchen and bath. With gorgeous landscaping, including built-in firepit, this home has been awarded Home of the Month and is one of the MOST photographed and admired homes in Galveston. THIS HOME HAS NEVER FLOODED... even in IKE. This home makes a walk to the beach or the Strand a breeze. It can be used as a personal home or a vacation rental. The current owners use this home as both. Furnishings are negotiable.

School information is generated by the most current available data we have. However, as school boundary maps can change, and schools can get too crowded (whereby students zoned to a school may not be able to attend in a given year if they are not registered in time), you need to independently verify and confirm enrollment and all related information directly with the school.
