About 2801 Ball St

Back on the market! Great opportunity to own this gorgeous Historical Victorian house, survivor of the 1900 Storm in Galveston! The seller remodeled and converted it into a duplex with a separate entrance, but it can be used again as a single house. Upstairs has three large bedrooms, two baths, a nice kitchen with plenty of cabinets, high ceilings with beautiful original chandeliers, a balcony, washer and dryer connections, and a large balcony. Downstairs features two large Bedrooms, a Living area, a formal dining room, and a large Kitchen. Separate meters. It was a long-term rental; it holds potential for medical students or can be easily converted into a short-term rental or single-family home. According to the Galveston Historical Foundation, the house was built in 1899 by Henry Beissner. Great location, close to the Port of Galveston Cruise terminals, UTMB, Downtown, and the Beach! Please call to make your showing appointment now!
