Garten Vereinに隣接する魅力的な職人スタイルのコテージ

We have been IBCs (Islanders By Choice) since 2004. We grew up coming to the island as children to fish and go to the beach, but started weekending here in 2004. The more we came, the more we fell in love with the island. There are so many interesting sites and events to see and do here, and we are constantly finding new things to do. We enjoy fishing, walking on the beach, riding our bikes along the seawall, paddle boarding in the Gulf and bays, and attending the various festivals and art shows throughout the year. We are now on our 3rd property in Galveston and spend almost all of our time here now.

The home at 2802 is a well constructed example of the brick cottages built in the late 20's. It's proximity to the Kempner Park, the beach and it's view of the Hutchings Mansion were deciding factors as well. The fact that we had recently purchased other properties close by, for the same reasons, sealed the deal.

The best part of this house is it's location. It is on a quite residential dead-end street, yet centrally located. The beach is just a short 6 block walk away. At the end of the street is Garten Verein, a former German social club organized in 1876 and is now a public park maintained by the Galveston Historical Foundation. Across the street is the 1856/1889 John H. Hutchings home, a three story mansion occupying almost three full acres. The Hutchings home has over 80 live oak trees and is home to several hawks and egrets. A daily treat is to sit on the front porch of the house and watch the hawks hunt between the mansion and park grounds.
